Charity Report Shows More Families Helped Despite Hard Times
The Charity Organization Society's report for the year ending September 30 notes a rise in families aided to 771, but resources were stretched.

The document highlights broader social concern and ongoing efforts by allied agencies to address poverty and safeguard independent living.
