In 1957 forty of these polio boy collection boxes were placed in a number of seaside resorts up and down the country.
Four were allocated to Skegness during the season and were placed outside four ‘entertainment houses’.

The collections raised money for the National Fund for Poliomyelitis Research.
At the end of the season, Skegness had raised £218, being beaten only by Rothesay where £257 7s 10d was raised.
