Appeal on behalf of the SOS Society, by Howard Marshall

The SOS Society is a voluntary organisation dependent on public generosity. It runs sixteen hostels in all, to help aged men and women unable to fend for themselves, men in need or trouble, and boys who have never had a proper chance.

Although the SOS Society adapts itself to changing times, its policy remains constant and is based on the vital importance of the individual. It is convinced that most of those who have got out of the society of their fellows can, with individual help, be brought back to normal life.
The Society pays no regard to race or creed, though its matrons and wardens are members of a Christian Church.

Local authorities pay for some of those in the Society's care, and others contribute what they can, but £14,000 must be raised annually from voluntary sources.
