Appeal on behalf of the Royal Hospital and Home for Incurables, Putney, by John Betjeman Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to John Betjeman , Esq., [address removed]
Founded in 1854, the hospital provides a permanent home for 250 crippled men and women from all parts of the country, whose disabilities are likely to be permanent. No expense is spared in providing the best medical treatment to improve the condition of patients and to make them less dependent on others for day-to-day living. The Royal Hospital is facing this year heavy expenditure on modernising wards and on a new lift, so extra funds are urgently required.
