Challenge Anneka — Season 5

Anneka launched the Croatia appeal live from the BT Tower appealing for materials to rebuild a school in Pakrac and the goods to be taken on convoy to Croatia. Simon Bates delivered the challenge to Anneka on behalf of the British Red Cross hours before she was due to transmit her live compilation programme. The show also included a look back at the best and worst moments from the past four series and interviewed past participants live on air.

Anneka received a challenge from two children from West Buckland School in North Devon to refurbish a derelict barn and turn it into a boathouse for use by disabled people. The boathouse belonged to the Exmoor Calvert Trust based at Wistlandpound Farm near Barnstaple.

Anneka was challenged to refurbish the soup kitchen for the homeless at the Social Care Unit at St Martin in the Fields in London and to provide a 150 meals a day for a year.

Anneka was challenged by the RNIB College in Worcester to build a multi-sensory maze for the blind. The challenge failed.

Anneka had just 3 days to make a commercial for the National Children's Home to be premiered in front of 1,000 children at the Odeon Leicester Square. Challenged completed but the film failed to be granted a "U" certificate to be shown at the premiere.

Anneka had 52 hours to convert two bungalows in Edgeware for wheelchair use by two disabled residents. The challenge also involved renovating the day room at the nearby hospital for Aspire and the Guinness Trust.

Gail Moore, of the Cope Children's Trust's Rainbow Appeal, challenged Anneka to create a range of clothes for children and mothers, the sale of which was to raise money to run the sixth children's hospice in the UK. Challenge succeeded.

The British Red Cross challenged Anneka to take food and hygiene supplies to the former Yugoslavia and to renovate a school in Pakrac, Croatia to enable children returning to an area of devastation to renew their education. 30 trucks, as a result of a nationwide appeal, travelled to Croatia. The school was renovated just in time for the children to arrive for their first school day.
