Appeal on behalf of the British Council for Aid to Refugees, by Miss Anita Pavelkovich , formerly a ' displaced person '
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
The Council was formed in 1950 by voluntary organisations interested in the welfare of displaced persons who were the victims of the Second World War. The Council maintains a hostel in London for elderly refugees who are supported by voluntary contributions from people in this country. The Council is now asking for financial support for a new hostel to accommodate a further forty refugees still in the D.P. camps in Germany, Austria, and Trieste.
This appeal is also on behalf of a hostel in Bristol which is able to house ten persons; the Bristol Committee has agreed to combine its appeal with that of the British Council for Aid to Refugees.
Help is also urgently needed for individual welfare work, to enable the Council to make grants and loans to those D.P.s who are normally self-supporting but may be in some temporary difficulty.
