Chipping Welcomes

Children of Chernobyl

Friends of Chernobyl's Children is a Registered Charity (Reg. Charity Nos. 1049689) which devotes its energies to raising funds to bring children, who are at risk, from Belarus to England for a month every year. The charity targets children from orphanages or disadvantaged homes, aged between six and thirteen. These children are in great need and come from social situations that make it difficult for them to get the care they require at home.

Olwyn Keogh, MBE, the founder and Chief Executive of the charity is a past resident of Chipping and first arranged a visit by a group of children to the village in September 2005. Our next visit will be in May 2010 and we will be holding a meeting to begin planning for this event in St Mary's Community Centre at 7:30pm on Wednesday 21st October. Please come along if you would like to learn how you could help young children affected by the worlds worst nuclear disaster.

The Friends of Chernobyl's Children is an ecumenical group working with you to help the deprived children of Belarus .

 Please Email Kate for more information about future planned visits

Charity patrons, Sir Norman Wisdom and Nick Park (Wallace and Gromit)
