WARWICK Castle played host to children from Chernobyl.
The 24 youngsters from Belarus – who grew up near the Ukraine site of the 1980s nuclear power plant disaster - were welcomed to Warwick by mayor Elizabeth Higgins.

The children from the region of the disater are brought to England each year by the charity Chernobyl Children’s Project UK. During a month they are taken to the seaside, into the country and have medical checks and treatment.
Many children have lost their parents, who died prematurely from radiation-related conditions, and now suffer from related health problems.
