RARE Matryoshka dolls were among the unusual crafts on sale in Trowbridge at the weekend to raise money to help families affected by the world's worst nuclear disaster.

The west Wiltshire link of the Chernobyl Children Lifeline, had a stall at the Clarendon School Christmas fair on Saturday, December 8.

The charity, which brings children affected by the nuclear disaster to Britain, sells items made by craftsmen to help raise money for them.

Natasha Moiseyeva and Sasha Moros, two of the girls who have spent time in west Wiltshire with the charity, were on hand on Saturday to explain to gift hunters what was on offer.
