Story

Mags played a key role in Chernobyl Children's Project for almost 30 years.

In April 1995 Mags and her husband Ken drove an ambulance out to Belarus, the country most affected by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, and they fell in love with the country and its people.

They went on to drive more ambulances, lead aid convoys, become Trustees of the charity and run the Glossop Group. They also hosted young children and their mums and Mags always gave lots of love and care to the mums, as well as the children, as she realised they were in great need of a therapeutic holiday after all the stress they had been through during their child's treatment.

No-one could have been more dedicated than Mags to supporting the children whose lives were affected by the Chernobyl disaster. She will live on in the hearts of many people whose lives she touched over the years and she will continue to inspire our ongoing work to support children and young people in Belarus.

When Mags and Ken retired from running the group in Glossop, there was a huge party with many host families from the past coming to thank them for their 20 years of hard work, brightening the lives of Belarusian children.  And when they stepped down from the Management Team the charity made them 'Honorary Trustees'
