A tandem bike and a 1930s MG sports car were used to help launch a nationwide campaign in Wallingford which aims to protect abused children.

Annetta Slade and her husband Jon rode their tandem bike from Wallingford to Didcot carrying a collecting jar.

Sarah Gillett then took the jar from Didcot to Aylesbury in a vintage MG.

The jar will now be taken around the country to raise money for The Body Shop's Protect the Child campaign.

Organisers hope to raise more than £50,000.

Ms Gillett, a district organiser for the campaign, said: "We have to transport the bottle around the country in as many different ways as possible -- with none of them paid for.

"It is being run by The Body Shop and its home-selling offshoot -- The Body Shop At Home."

Mrs Slade, from North Moreton, is Wallingford and Didcot area manager for The Body Shop At Home.
