Directors dip into own pockets to help Chernobyl charity’s finances

Two directors at Adi Roche’s Chernobyl Children’s charity have dipped into their own pockets to shore up the charity’s finances by giving it €319,000.

New accounts show two unidentified directors last year gave the charity €169,000, on top of the same pair donating €150,000 in 2013.

The 2014 contribution coincided with a vast improvement in the finances of the Chernobyl Children’s Project International (CCI), with losses down sharply to €113,263 from the €664,783 sustained in 2013.
