We have pleasure in presenting our Annual Report for the year ending
March 31st 1964.
Although income was less than last year, we were able to meet requests
for help from patients and their families either from our own Fund or by calling
upon other voluntary agencies such as S.S.A.F.A., The Glasspool Trust, The
Benevolent Society of St. Patrick, The Mayor's Fund, The Society for the Relief
of Distressed Widows, Stoke Newington & District Sick Poor Charities and
others. To all of these, as always, we extend our sincere thanks.
The sale of Christmas Seals resulted in £131.5.5d. being added to our
fund and a gift of £25 from the Radlett Parish Church was gratefully received
as were donations of £45 from the Sunday Cinematograph Entertainments Fund of
the London County Council, £10 from the United Charities of St. Leonard, and
£5 from the Rotary Club of Shoreditch. Several Jumble Sales were held in the
Clinic which realised £17.
This Christmas we increased the amount of our gifts to elderly patients
from 10/- to £1 each. Twenty eight of them were helped in this way* Christmas
gifts were also given to many of our needy families by the Mayors of Shoreditch
& Hackney Boroughs.
In conclusion we would like to thank the Borough Treasurer of Shoreditch
for so kindly auditing our accounts, also Mr. Kirkland, his assistant,
who looks after our finances throughout the year."
