For more than fifty-seven years the Forces Help Society and Lord Roberts Workshops has worked unceasingly for the benefit of all serving and ex-Service men and women, and more than three million have been helped. In the Lord Roberts Workshops the men of three wars, with an average disability of sixty per cent, have been trained and employed to produce furniture of all kinds, bedding, basketware, and brushes.
In a Training Centre in Surrey, specially equipped for spinal cases, the more severely disabled are being trained in clock assembly and repair and in invisible mending-remunerative crafts which the men can follow later from the shelter of their own homes. Other centres are established for the aged, for the disabled and convalescent, and the Society maintains twenty-two Cottage Homes. The Forces Help Society and Lord Roberts Workshops is a voluntary organisation and needs funds to continue its vital work.
