A JUMBLE sale and raffle in aid of a charity which helps young people in Belarus is being held in Swindon.

The Zaslowya project aims to provide hope and develop self-esteem in youngsters and their families living in and around Zaslowya, near Minsk.

Fundraising efforts help people cope with the problems which arose from the Chernobyl nuclear explosion in 1986.

The project helps by bringing young people to England for holidays.

And organisers hope the sale, at Wanborough School on Saturday May 7, will boost funds. For more information about the charity visit www.zaslowya-project.org.uk
