Pollitt helped establish the William Gee appeal fund to raise money for the veteran socialist activist during his later years. Gee had been an idol to Pollitt during his younger years and Pollitt wanted to help take care of him during his old age. During the 1940s Pollitt would appeal to CPGB members and labour movement colleagues for a Christmas fund to help with his pension.
