WORKERS FOR THE EAST END.
[To rat Berme or ran " Serearoa.".) Sui,—The East End of London has played a great part in the war. By its munition, chemical, ship-repairing, and tailoring works It provided material requisites, while in the earliest days of recruiting its sons enrolled in their thousands. Some of them will never return. Amongst the fallen are many who, had they lived, would have given their time and thought to making this part of London a better and happier place for future generations. For their sakes, and for this work, we appeal for the help of men and women of goodwill.
Wide schemes of reform are afoot, but they are ineffective without the personal care and effort which sees that each individual has the fullest benefit from the new opportunities they offer. Social workers have been desperately scarce in the East End during the four years of war, and there is now an urgent need of all forms of voluntary help and a greater prospect than ever of useful activity.
A Committee has been formed to receive offers of voluntary work in the boroughs of Stepney and Poplar, and to place helpers where their services are most needed and in the kind of work they wont to do. We have no space to give detailed descriptions of the work required, which includes Infant Wel- fare, Aid for Invalid Children, Care Committee, Juvenile Em- ployment, War Pensions, and all forms of work amongst boys and girls. The Committee is also prepared to give informs- lion as to the Settlements, where residence can be obtained if desired. Those wishing to offer help for the whole or any part of the week, or requiring further information, Mould apply by letter first to Miss H. W. Jevons at Toynbee Hall, Com- mercial Street, E. 1.—We are, Sir, Ix.,
H. L. SIISPHSY. KNUTSPORD.
