Chernobyl friends have fun

A GROUP of youngsters from Chernobyl has enjoyed a month-long visit to West Cumbria.

The seven youngsters have taken part in exciting activities and have had various medical and dental checks.

A fundraising pie and pea supper was held at Cleator Moor Civic Hall, by the local branch of Friends of Chernobyl’s Children.

A total of £2,012 was raised and the money has gone towards the travel costs and upkeep of the youngsters, who stayed with families around the county during the visit.
