HOME HELPS.
The Hornsey Home Helps Society was started by the
Voluntary Workers in 1930 and. in spite of the great difficulties
connected with this form of voluntary social service, has continued
to show increased work each year.
I am indebted to the Hon. Secretary, Mrs. Inward, for the
following report on the work of the Society for 1936: —
" I have much pleasure in presenting to you a report of the
Home Help Service for 1936.
The number of Mothers served:—66.
No. 1 Centre 20
No. 2 21

Not attached to any Centre 11

The number of Helps on books:—8.
There is great difficulty in obtaining really efficient Helps
owing to the uncertainty of the date of confinement and long
hours of service.
