An appeal on behalf of THE GREY CROSS CAMPAIGN OF THE ROYAL BATH HOSPITAL, HARROGATE by the Earl of HAREWOOD, K.G., G.C.V.O.
The Grey Cross Campaign was inaugurated by the Royal Bath Hospital on May 14, 1938. Its object is to raise £70,000 for building extension, development of facilities, and research into causation of rheumatic diseases. The Royal Bath Hospital, which was founded in 1824 for the relief of poor persons from all parts of the British Isles, is a national institution, supported by voluntary contributions, and specialises in the treatment of rheumatic and kindred diseases. The hospital was rebuilt in 1888, and this appeal is the first to be made since that time. Five years ago, in conjunction with Leeds University, a Research Department was established, and to facilitate research it is imperative that the present wards be modernised and new wards built. Accommodation for bed cases becomes more and more urgently essential for the treatment of the more acute forms of rheumatic disease.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged, and should be addressed to Lord Harewood, [address removed]
