A charity which organises holidays for children affected by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster is looking for host families.

The Brackley Link of the Chernobyl Children's Lifeline brings youngsters from the former Soviet state of Belarus to England for health-giving visits.

Belarus was the country worst-hit by the radioactive fall-out from the Chernobyl nuclear plant in 1986.

In August, 12 children, all with radiation-induced illnesses, spent four weeks in Brackley.

Anyone interested can call Chris Tustain on 01280 703523 or 07713 274375.
