Holidays were provided, in co-operation with the St. Pancras School for Mothers and
the Charity Organisation Society, for four families of Tuberculosis patients. Fares were paid
in several cases to enable relatives to visit patients undergoing residential treatment. Pocket
money grants were made to fourteen patients without means while they were in Sanatorium.
During the cold weather at Christmas, coal was sent to eighty-three needy patients. The
Secretary of the St. Pancras Needy Fund again asked for the names of patients in poor
circumstances. Twenty names were submitted, and each person received a generous parcel at

her to sleep alone. Hire purchase payments were made in two cases where the family income
was temporarily reduced, and two grants were made towards the purchase of spectacles.
