INSPIRATIONAL Haslemere resident Victor Mizzi OBE – who founded the ground-breaking rescue charity Chernobyl Children’s Lifeline – has died aged 84. Mr Mizzi launched his charity in 1991 and it has gone on to provide a new lease of life for around 50,000 children affected by the devastating Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986. Shocked by the scale of the disaster, he founded the charity CCLL to give child victims recuperative breaks of four weeks in the UK – a commitment that continues to this day from its new headquarters in Alton.
