LOVE was in the air as staff at an Oxfordshire care company sent each other Valentine's Day balloons for charity.

Workers at HomeServe in Banbury bought the balloons and sent them secretly to colleagues around the business who they felt had made a positive difference in the past year.

Across the UK the initiative raise more than £3,000 for charities including Midlands Air Ambulance, North West Blood Bikes and Birmingham Children's Hospital.
