Other Institutions.
(1) The Rochester Diocesan Society for Befriending
Women and Girls has a home at 29, Ravensbourne Road,
which was opened in October, 1912. Here unmarried
expectant mothers are received and arrangements made for
their confinements in maternity homes or in the Farnborough
Hospital (Public Assistance Institution).
Subsequent to confinement the mothers and babies are
received into the Home and kept there until employment

a nature as to allow the mother to care for her child,
foster-mothers are found by the Society. The Home has
no subsidy from public funds.

maintained by the London Association for the Blind, and
