A Bristol charity is seeking help to aid war-affected children in Ukraine. The Bristol-based charity formerly known as Chernobyl Children's LifeLine has issued an urgent appeal for support.
Having dedicated three decades to organising respite holidays in the UK for Ukrainian and Belarusian children affected by the devastating aftermath of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster, the charity had to swiftly redirect its efforts towards providing emergency aid when war broke out in Ukraine.
In a recent development, the charity has joined forces with the local council in Myrcha, a Ukrainian village situated approximately 60 miles northwest of Kyiv. Myrcha, home to around 130 children, has a sole educational institution encompassing both a school and a kindergarten. These buildings also serve as the village's primary medical care centre and ambulance point.
