THE children of Chernobyl would like to thank you most sincerely for advertising our Garden Fete.

They would also like to thank Mr John Inman for opening the event which took place at Bispham Court on July 23.

The children would also like to thank the people who came along and helped us raise the sum of £465.51.

The money has now been divided equally between the two charities, Macmillan Windmill Appeal , Medicine and Chernobyl (Ribble Valley Group).

The children have now returned to Belarus, having spent a wonderful month in England, which we are sure they will never forget.

Jennifer and Tom Roberts,

Norbreck Road,

Little Bispham.
