Home The Chernobyl disaster Chernobyl Children Lifeline Totnes and Ivybridge Link How you can help Frequently asked questions Gallery Get in touch with the link Further resources With thanks Members area Site map	The Totnes & Ivybridge link of Chernobyl Children Lifeline started in November 2006.  Our Chair, Sue, was previously Chair of the South Hams link and all the committee members except our Treasurer have experience of hosting children.  CCLL has no particular religious or political affiliation - members come from all ages and stages of life and we hope to reflect this locally by evolving a diverse and egalitarian link. As a committee we meet roughly once a month and keep in close contact in between, as there is always plenty to be done in terms of fundraising, raising awareness of the link, recruiting and keeping in touch with host and support families etc etc.  We currently hold open meetings as necessary although we plan to formalise this a bit in the next year. Link members/affiliates are welcome at the committee meetings but experience suggests that it is best to keep committee and open meetings separate. This avoids overburdening anyone who doesn't want to make the sort of commitment involved in being on the committee. Our philosophy for this link is pretty simple - we want to raise money, get kids over and have fun!  We are a friendly bunch and welcome people from all backgrounds.  Our committee meetings are held round the kitchen table and try to keep things as informal as possible within the structure necessary to run as a link.  We would love to hear from anyone interested in joining us in any capacity - please look at How you can help and Get in touch with the link for more details. These are just some of the towns and villages in the Totnes and Ivybridge Link region - if in doubt, please ask!
