Boot Club.
This activity showed satisfactory results during 1943, and
reflects great credit on all those who voluntarily work the
scheme in the interests of the children.
There were over £600 purchases for the year 1943 in comparison
with £520 for the previous year. Many necessitous
cases have been submitted to the Bromley Children's Care
Committee for consideration for the provision of free footwear
and 71 pairs of boots and shoes were provided at a cost of £40
through the assistance of the Bromley Benevolent Association.
A tribute is due to the seven firms co-operating in the
scheme on a discount basis, of 10 per cent. in some cases, and 5
per cent. in others, having regard to war-time difficulties of
supply shortage in children's footwear and increased working
costs.
Bromley Children's Care Committee.
Miss M. A. Isard, Honorary Secretary, in addition to assistance
given to the Boot Club, has been most helpful in all the
cases referred through the School Medical Service.
