Children from Belarus, refugees from the Chernobyl fall out, have arrived in Epsom for the start of a four-week stay.

A group of 16 boys and girls will be having the month-long respite from the most contaminated areas of Belarus which are still affected by the radioactive fall out of the Chernobyl disaster.

The children will be staying with families in the Epsom area and will be going out and about for treats and trips with their host families and enjoying fun events laid on at Epsom College.

The children will also be given the opportunity to visit a dentist and optician and choose new clothes donated by local people.
