Where to Send Money

Conisborough. This Committee has been relieving about 500 daily with soup and bread, but has disbanded. For want of funds money is badly needed here; to continue the work as before will require £35 weekly at least. Subscriptions should be sent to the Rev. R. P. Roseveare, Denaby Main.

Mexborough. J. C. Fletcher and H. E. Liversedge, Market Hall, Mexborough, joint secretaries of relief committee. This Committee is giving relief to 956 families, containing about 5,000 persons. They are only able to spend about 1s. weekly on each family. The need for money is very urgent here, another £50 a week could be spent without extravagance.

Bolton-on-Dearne. T. Washington, Board School, Bolton-on-Dearne, is secretary of the relief committee. They are feeding about 225 children three times a week; the funds will allow no more, and the Committee can do nothing for the men and women. Funds are urgently needed to enable the relief for the children to be continued and to enable the Committee to extend their usefulness.

Kilnhurst. Thos. Palfreyman, Victoria Street, Kilnhurst, secretary of the relief committee. This Committee has about 1400 men, women and children dependent upon its funds and wants more money badly.
