Our Charity is Friends of Chernobyl's Children, a registered charity which devotes its energies to raising funds to bring children, who are at risk, from Belarussia to the United Kingdom 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.
'Through direct exposure from the atmosphere and indirect exposure through the food chain, children in the Chernobyl area received a dose of radiation 40 times above permissible levels. The number of incidences of thyroid cancer is up 3000 per cent and it is estimated that over the next 15-20 years over 40,000 children in Belarus will contract the disease.' www.focc.org.uk
