This Society exists to give relief to those in need and to provide Homes for elderly gentlepeople. Relief is given irrespective of class or creed and with understanding and friendliness. The eight Residential Homes for gentlepeople, which are run by the Society, aim to allay the two fears that beset old age-fear of becoming a burden to the younger generation with its own problems and stresses, and fear of illness. The Society receives more than five hundred applications every year for admittance to its Homes, all too few of which can be met, but which prove the need for the work and for its extension.
