Appeal on behalf of the Orchard Holiday Home by the Rev. Patrick Figgis
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to the Rev. Patrick Figgis , [address removed]
In 1940 a Holiday Home was opened in Mill Hill, North London, to enable people in the East End to be given a rest from wartime conditions. This opportunity was so much appreciated that after the war the Orchard Holiday Home was permanently established in Mill Hill, in order to provide holidays for people, mostly Londoners, who cannot afford ordinary charges--old-age pensioners, disabled workers, families supported by the National Assistance Board, those in receipt of low wages.
People pay according to their means.
£1,700 is required to dear the mortgage on the house.
