Friends of Chernobyl's Children (UK) is a charity founded in 1995 that brings children, who are at medical and social risk from the after effects of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, from Belarus to the UK for a month every year. Every year more than 1,000 children come to Britain from orphanages or disadvantaged homes staying with host families. They are given a full year's supply of vitamins and medicine for them and, where possible, other members of their family.
