The co-operation and help of the Officers and Cadets contributed
greatly to the success of both events.
This year, for the first time, we received a cheque for £30 from
the School Council of Sir Walter St. John's School. This very
generous gift from the boys enabled us to provide some extra
amenities for one of our chest wards in St. John's Hospital. We are
most grateful for the interest of the school in our work and for
this very welcome donation.
No report would be complete without recording our thanks to
the Battersea Park Rotary Club and the Morganite Carbon Company
Limited, for their continued financial support. Our thanks
too are extended to our friends who have so kindly provided us
with clothing, toys and books throughout the year.
Finally, we express our appreciation of the work carried out on
behalf of the Committee throughout the year by Miss R. M.
Greenaway, Social Worker, Miss M. Clifford, Health Visitor and
Mr. I. Faithfull, Secretary.
N. F. CLARK-LAWRENCE (Miss),

WANDSWORTH TUBERCULOSIS CARE COMMITTEE
ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1971
1 think we can record another successful year for the Care
Committee. We have helped many patients both financially and
practically but, unfortunately, now that we have lost our storage
room we are unable to keep any of the furniture offered to us and
this is a great pity.
The two outings to the coast were greatly appreciated and at
Christmas £150 was given as grants to the less fortunate patients
both in hospital and at home.
Once again our Sale of Work was a success and the net proceeds
amounted to just over £220. Unfortunately the Mayor,
Councillor J. Golding, could not perform the opening ceremony
but managed to come along in time to pick the prize winners in
the draw. Although it was only a brief visit we enjoyed the opportunity
of meeting him and his wife. I should like to take this
opportunity of again thanking everyone for their help in making
the Sale of Work such a success and especially those friends, like
Mrs. Cross, Mr. and Mrs. Ireland, Mrs. Quertier and Miss Wright,
who are not members of the Committee.
