THE REDDITCH sky will be filled with colourful balloons as a group raises money for babies and toddlers.

The Redditch branch of the National Childbirth Trust (NCT) will be holding a balloon race, with the balloons provided by McDonald's, on Sunday, June 10, at 3.30pm after their second Toddlethon at Arrow Valley Lake.

NCT members will be selling tickets for the balloon race, which cost £1.50, in the town centre on Saturday. First prize is £50 worth of Tesco vouchers.

All toddlers and parents are invited to come and toddle around the lake from 2-4pm. A minimal donation to the NCT will be accepted.

There will be a certificate at the end for each participant and there will also be a bouncy castle on the day.
