Appeal on behalf of the ex-Services Mental Welfare Society by Wilfred Pickles , O.B.E.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to Wilfred Pickles , Esq., [address removed]
The Society was founded in 1919 for all ranks of all branches of H.M. Forces, including the Merchant Navy, suffering from war psychoses and neuroses. It is a specialist organisation and the only one in this sphere of welfare work exclusively devoted to ex-Service men and women.
The Society supplements the work of the State on behalf of more than 30,000 ex-Service men and women in mental hospitals; 74,000 others drawing neuroses pensions; and many more thousands of sufferers.
The organisation operates through a central office in London and branch offices in Glasgow and Manchester. It maintains its own curative home, a large industrial centre where patients unable to face competitive life may work under sheltered conditions, and an old people's home.
The Society needs £ 70,000 a year to meet the calls made on its services.
