Budget Analysis, Rotavirus, Swimming for EACH

Synopsis

Young children in Suffolk are falling ill with a nasty and distressing virus that leaves them quickly dehydrated, weak and frail.

Today's budget comes as Britain slowly emerges from recession and a General Election looms. If you were the Chancellor what would you do?

There'll be the latest news, analysis and comment as the Chancellor reveals his Budget Report.

All this week the programme is looking at the work of Racing Welfare - a Newmarket based charity that helps people with addictions. Today we hear from a woman whose life has been affected by her addiction to alcohol.

The Treehouse Appeal picks up momentum and news of the massive fundraising effort is now spreading countrywide. A Scottish company has heard about the £3 million that is needed and one of its Directors is joining the race to help raise the money needed to build the new children's hospice in Ipswich. It's no ordinary fundraising attempt though - he is doing the Great North Swim!
