Appeal on behalf of the Social Service of the Church of Scotland, by Lady Tweedsmuir, M.P.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
The programme of Social Service carried out by the Church of Scotland is one of the largest and most varied undertaken by any voluntary organisation today in that country. Through homes, hostels, and agencies it seeks to tackle a variety of problems. It provides, without distinction of creed, class or colour, for infants, toddlers, and children of school age, either literally or virtually homeless through the loss of parents or the breakdown of home life; for young people in need of kindness and leadership; for lads and girls in moral danger or difficulty; and for aged men and women seeking care and comfort in the eventide of their days.
This service, which has increased and developed enormously since the end of the war, depends almost entirely for its maintenance and development on voluntary contributions, on such payments as residents in the homes can make, and on income from legacies.
