Help for Chernobyl victims
10:27am Friday 9th May 2008
A POLICE choir is helping the child victims of the Chernobyl disaster by hitting the high notes for a charity concert.
Members of Avon and Somerset Constabulary's Male Voice Choir will perform a number of classic songs at the concert on Saturday, May 17 (7.30pm) at St John the Baptist Church, Keynsham.
The 50 singers, all serving or retired police officers, are raising funds for the Chernobyl Children's Life Line, which was set up in 1991 to support the children of Belarus affected by the nuclear disaster at the Chernobyl reactor in neighbouring Ukraine in April 1986.
Seventy per cent of the fallout from the devastating explosion landed on Belarus, leaving thousands of children with leukaemia, thyroid and other life-threatening cancers.
Tickets to the concert are available by calling 01275 838440 or emailing pr.bristol@ccll.org.uk
