Appeal on behalf of St. Martin-in-the-Fields Christmas Fund, by the Vicar, the Rev. L. M. Charles -Edwards
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
Every year the Vicar of St. Martin-in-the-Fields makes a Christmas Broadcast
Appeal. It is an Appeal by St. Martin's, but not an Appeal for St. Martin's, for all the gifts received are distributed throughout the British Isles. Many people feel that Christmas is a time to make some personal gift to others who are in need through illness or misfortune, and for whom Christmas is a time of sadness rather than joy. The problem is how to find these people. St. Martin's knows them, knows where the need is greatest, and where the help is most required. The Appeal is unique; more than 20,000 people take part, either as subscribers, distributors, or helpers, and by their efforts the spirit of Christmas is brought to thousands who otherwise might not know the full joy of Christmas.
