Voluntary Work Aided by Borough Council.
Infant Welfare Centres.—There are four Voluntary
Societies for the promotion of Infant Welfare in the Borough,
and in spite of difficulties these continued their good work
during the year.
The Hammersmith Infant Welfare Centre, with its four
branch Centres, had its full complement of activities, including
Ante-natal Clinics, Infant Consultations and Weighings, and
Mothers' Classes of Instruction.
The Women's League of Service, at its one Centre in the
Borough, also held Ante-natal and Infant Consultations, and
supplied dinners to expectant and nursing mothers at reduced
rates.
A weekly Dental Clinic is held at this Centre.
The Latymer Road Mission Welfare Centre held two
sessions weekly: infant consultations and weighings and
mothers' classes. This Welfare Centre is on the borders of
the Borough and serves both Kensington and Hammersmith.
The College Park Clinic was a branch of the Hammersmith
Infant Welfare Centre, but is now carried on under the auspices
of Presbyterian Church, Ponsard Road. Infant consultations
are held weekly. This Centre also serves Willesden.
