A Neston driving instructor took part in the Big Learner Relay 2016 to help raise money for Children in Need.

Driving instructors from across Great Britain joined in, driving in convoy through England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The Pudsey Roof Box was transferred from each lead car over 15 days, covering over 3000 miles and helping to raise over £80,000 for good causes.

Kevin Birchall was 'Pudsey' for the week.

Local legs of the relay were covered by Amanda MacBeth, lead car from Ellesmere Port to Birkenhead and Dave Harvey, lead car from Birkenhead to Liverpool on the 18th November, with each lead car supported by other local instructors. In total, 32 local instructors and pupils took part.

Kevin Birchall from Neston did all his lessons for the week in a Pudsey outfit and asked pupils to sponsor 'dots' on his car.

Now in its third year, the Big Learner Relay has raised a total of nearly £250,000. It's not too late to donate, you can chip in by visiting the JustGiving page here.
