Infant Welfare Centres.—The Seven Kings Welfare Centre
was transferred from the Seven Kings Library Hall to more
commodious premises in the School Room of the United Methodist
Church, Seven Kings Road, Seven Kings, on July 23rd.
The Becontree Centre was transferred from St. Thomas'
Church to the Church Institute on September 29th.
The Infant Welfare Centres have, as in, previous years, been
carried on very economically owing to the ready assistance which
ladies in the town have voluntarily given. At the Ilford Lane
Centre one of the ladies has carried on a Clothing Club since 1921,
to which mothers can contribute small sums weekly and withdraw
the whole or part of their contributions as necessity arises. At
the end of 1923 £73 l0.s l0d. had been saved by 75 mothers.
There are now seven Infant Welfare Centres, which are held
as follows:—
Seven Kings (United Methodist Church), Monday afternoon.
Goodraayes (All Saints' Church Hall), Tuesday morning.
Newbury Park (Birkbeck Road Congregational Church),
Tuesday afternoon.
Albert Road (Presbyterian Church Hall), Wednesday afternoon.
Ilford Lane (Emmanuel Church), Wednesday afternoon.
Park and Cranbrook (Cecil Hall), Thursday afternoon.
Becontree (St. Thomas' Church Institute), Saturday morning.
