Helen Nussey

Helen Georgiana Nussey OBE (27 November 1875 – 6 February 1965) was an early British welfare worker and writer on gardening.

She was educated at the Cheltenham Ladies' College boarding school and went on to work for Westminster Hospital where she was their first almoner looking after the needs of patients.

[1] In 1909 she and Olive J. Cockerell published, "A French garden in England: a record of the successes and failures of a first year of intensive culture".

[3] The new school care service relied on volunteers but they were initially organised by two women employed by London County Council and Nussey was one of them.

[1] Morton divided the service into twelve regions where care committees staffed by volunteers identified children in need of school dinners or other assistance.
