Re: Are there any Ladies on here who....

I worked for the Salvation Army at Booth House in Whitechapel London when i was about 30 that is 35 years ago. I used to go in at 9pm to make the teas and cocoa before they went to bed, and do the washing up. My two friends worked their also and used to do the cleaning in the private paying Mens part. Next door was the soup kitchen and people could sleep their if they had no rooms for the night. They were such lovely people to me and if there is anyone i would donate to it would be them they do so much good work at home and abroad. My Father was in the Army hospital at the end of the War and he told me they were such comfort to the soldiers where as other priest walked by their beds if you was not of their faith so he truly supported the Salvation Army as they had time for you no matter what faith you were.
