Biographical history

Its objective was to give invalid or disadvantaged children visits in the Country within a 50 mile radius of London of not less than 2 weeks. The children were boarded with local "cottagers" who were paid by the society to look after the children, along with a parental contribution.
Local Committees were set up in areas around London to select children felt to be worthy of such holidays.
