10 Mr. Tewson assisted by Mr. Thackrah and his devoted Committee, 41 children are cared for. It is one of the oldest homes and has always helped the head office by taking in any boy or girl that was for the moment homeless. It has 18 younger children adopted by Foster Parents in America, and the rest are either older girls, helping in the home, or boys at work who, though no doubt not earning sufficient to maintain themselves yet, do contribute regularly to the home. Caerleon is a smaller colony, but a very happy, homely one. It has 10 children. Several are boys, two older girls are training in a Nursery garden near by, two boys are apprenticed engineers, and the local Committee is fortunate in having as its Secretary, Mr. Williams, who keeps an eye, also, on other children living in private homes in Wales. Carshalton is a go-ahead colony, its active Secretary, Mr. Charles Wellington, and his Committee care for 24 of our children. It is one of our oldest homes, and always willing to help in an emergency. It has become very much a centre to which older boys and girls working round London can meet and always be sure of a warm welcome. They have been given facilities to enable them to run their youth magazine, and much help in arranging concerts with which to finance it; many of these have been most successful. A number of local Committees must be mentioned :— Birmingham helps considerably to finance the apprenticeship of a large group of older boys in the Midlands area. Cambridge is one of our most active committees and cares for 21 children; some in work and others adopted. Glasgow. There are 24 children in various private homes, the older boys and girls working, the younger children attending local schools. Kingston. An excellent hostel was maintained here until funds were no longer forthcoming to make this possible; three children remain in private hospitality. Manchester. The 22 children in this area are kept in touch with each other, through the kindness of one of our constant friends, who arranges for them to meet at her house.
