Description: | This collecting box was used to raise funds for the Children's Union. The charity was a children's club founded to support the work of St Nicholas' Home.
Originally based in Tooting, St Nicholas' was both a hospital and a home for disabled children in care. In 1908 St Nicholas' moved to a new, larger site in Pyrford, near Woking, Surrey.
There were branches of the union across the UK and overseas. Children raised funds for St Nicholas' by holding fetes and other events. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | Public services | Temporal: | 1920-1935 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
