Many gifts were received from friends, including a new
weaving machine from a former patient for the use of the handicraft
class. Other gifts included good secondhand clothing,
books and many other useful articles.
At Christmas time the Secretary again had the pleasure of
receiving and distributing to children of patients, toys and books
kindly given by the Mayoress of Camberwell (Mrs. Hilda Evans).
A former patient of the Clinic presented toys and cigarettes and a
large hamper containing Christmas fare. We are much indebted
to the donors of these gifts.
Close co-operation has been maintained with the voluntary
associations in the Borough, the British Red Cross Society,
Family Welfare Association, Nursing Associations, Invalid
Children's Aid Association, Soldiers, Sailors and Air Force
Families' Association, and the Women's Voluntary Services.
We gladly acknowledge their help and that of the official bodies
and know that they will continue to assist our efforts on behalf
of the tuberculous people of the Borough.
Finally we place on record our thanks to the Honorary
Officers : The Worshipful the Mayor of Camberwell (Alderman
J. V. I. Evans, J.P.), Patron of the Christmas Seal Sale ; Mrs.
Cecilia Green well, Organiser of the Seal Sale ; Mr. H. Smith,
Borough Treasurer, who is our Honorary Treasurer; and Mr.
A. W. J. Lamb, our Honorary Auditor ; and to the Camberwell
Borough Council for affording us accommodation for our
meetings.
We also thank Dr. H. D. Chalke (Divisional Medical Officer,
London County Council, Division 7, and Medical Officer of
Health of Camberwell), for including the Care Committee's
Annual Report for 1955 in his Annual Report for the same year.
