 The children are staying with seven host families |
A group of children from Belarus arrives in Bristol at the weekend for a respite holiday organised by the Chernobyl Children Lifeline charity. The chair of South Gloucestershire Council, Cllr June Lovell, will meet the group of 14 as part of the holiday.
The charity was set up to help children affected by the fall-out from the Chernobyl nuclear accident in 1986.
They will stay with seven families, six of whom are in Kingswood. The seventh family live in Stockwood, Bristol.
Cllr Lovell said: "We are pleased and honoured to be able to welcome these children to our area."
Clive Brett, secretary of East Bristol Link, said: "When the children are staying with their host families they become, and are treated as, one of them."
