Since its foundation in t882 by the late Prebendary Wilson Carlile , the Church Army has been prominent in the fight against material and spiritual distress.
In this country it undertakes a vast amount of social work irrespective of creed, class, or colour: the Anchorage and Sunset Homes for the Aged (also special homes equipped as self-contained flatlets); welfare hostels for the homeless and destitute; youth and social centres offering leadership and guidance to the young; prison rehabilitation; work among H.M. Forces; homes for motherless children, lads and girls facing moral unrest, homeless families, and mothers and babies; and the Fresh Air Homes offering annual seaside holidays to poor mothers and families. The work is increasing, and money is urgently needed to carry on.
