Two women from a solicitors firm will be joining a vital convoy to help some of Bulgaria’s most deprived children.

Almost 60 percent of Bulgaria’s children are deprived of what UNICEF considers elementary for a healthy childhood.

But Allison Chatto, a senior professional at Simpson Millar and a Labour councillor for Gateshead, and Amanda Davis, who is based in the firm’s Wimbledon office, are hoping to help by joining the convoy which delivers humanitarian aid to the country.

The aid delivery takes the form of a ten-lorry strong convoy led by the Communication Workers’ Union Humanitarian Aid organisation (CWUHA) and manned by volunteers from Royal Mail, BT, Simpson Millar and other supporters.

The aid will go to schools, single-parent hostels, hospitals, orphanages and families in desperate need.
