Pearson's Fresh Air Fund was a national charity which organised day trips and holidays to the countryside for poor city children. The Birmingham branch organised holidays to places like the Lickeys; Rubery and Sutton. Day trips went by tram from Suffolk St. Over 900 children took part in each day trip; the tags helped the organisers identify all the participants.
