Appeal on behalf of the Family Planning Association by the Rt. Rev. Mervyn Stockwood, Bishop of Southwark
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to the Bishop of Southwark, [address removed]
The Family Planning Association is a voluntary organisation, founded in 1930. It has, at the' present time, 299 clinics where married people who wish to space their families receive medical advice, and where advice is also given to involuntarily childless couples.
In addition to the work of the clinics, the Association has set up and maintains Marriage Welfare Centres. At these centres practical help is given, on a wider scale than at the clinics, on many aspects of married life and parenthood -medical, socio-medical, and psychological-and there are also opportunities for training and research by doctors and others working in these fields. The Association is appealing especially for support to extend the work of these centres.
