Friends of Chernobyl’s Children looks for volunteer families

Friends of Chernobyl’s Children is looking for volunteer host families to care for children during a month long visit to the UK in the summer of 2020.

The charity has worked with Edmonds & Slatter Opticians in Glenfield, Leicestershire for more than 11 years, who provide the children with eye tests and goody bags.

John Buckby, group co-ordinator for Friends of Chernobyl’s Children (West Leics) said: ‘Hosting a child is an incredibly rewarding experience and these visits do really change the lives of the children and the host families and volunteers that support them. If you think you can help, either as a host family, a volunteer supporting the visits or volunteer working with us on our committee, please get in touch now.’
