A CHARITY chairman is going back to college to help raise funds.

Henry Leigh, 59, chairman of the west Wiltshire link of the Chernobyl Children's Lifeline, is studying for a performance coaching diploma through Newcastle College's distance learning programme.

He said: "The course has been extremely beneficial to the charity as it has given me the ability to identify strategies that will help the individual volunteers achieve their goals."

The Chernobyl Children's Lifeline brings children affected by the 1986 disaster over to this country for education or medical care.
