BOYS’ BRIGADE WEEK
Annual Appeal For Funds All over New Zealand this week the Boys’ Brigade is making its annual appeal for funds. In 1957 a record sum of £10,458 was raised. Altogether more than 57,000 supporters of the brigade contributed. This year the aim is to raise at least £12,000. The Life Boys, the junior reserve of the Boys’ Brigade, do not actively participate in Boys' Brigade Week, the first week in July, but are the financial responsibility of their respective companies so that brigade finances are on a wide basis. With the growth of the Boys' Brigade in New Zealand there are increasing calls for the purchase of gymnasium equipment, band instruments and so on. One quarter of the amounts raised by each company is allocated to headquarters where a staff of five is employed in the administration, training and equipment departments. . . Already this year, the brigade has raised from its own membership more than £lOOO for the supply of an organiser in the Pacific Islands forming New Zealand’s dependencies.
