On Wednesday 21st September we will be  remembering the life of our beloved Mum, Nan & Great Nanny Smith.

The family are asking those who would like to make a donation in Edith’s memory to donate to The Salvation Army, a charity that helped Edith a great deal whir she was growing up.

The Salvation Army is an international organisation meeting human need in a variety of ways depending on the environment. We have schools, clinics, facilities for those experiencing homelessness, employment agencies, training centres and a farm. In the UK the Salvation Army has been at the forefront of efforts to reduce homelessness and support homeless people since its early days in 1870s, as well as creating the first employment agency. We currently provide a range of services for people experiencing homelessness, including accommodation-based services for families, young people, single people and those fleeing domestic violence; support to those in their own home and day services.Every day, 365 days a year, The Salvation Army provides practical help to thousands of people facing homelessness, poverty, isolation, addiction, domestic violence and social injustice.
