Members of the class and other patients were invited
to two outings. In July there was a day at the seaside
and just prior to Christmas there was a visit to a theatre.
For the 28th consecutive year we took part in the
National Seal Sale and although the receipts were a little
lower than in previous years - probably due to similar
appeals by other charitable organisations - we feel that
the citizens of Camberwell donate in a very generous way
to help us maintain our main source of income.
Having found that the Christmas food parcels issued
to needy patients last year were so warmly received it
was decided to increase the number of parcels distributed
from 50 to 100.
We wish to thank the voluntary organisations and the
official bodies in the Borough for their valuable cooperation
and help during the year. We know that they will
continue to assist our efforts.
In concluding this report we place on record our
thanks to the Honorary Officers: The Worshipful the Mayor
of Camberwell (Patron of the Seal Sale), Mrs. Lilian
Reddeford, Organiser of the Seal Sale; Mr. H. Smith, the
Borough Treasurer, who is our Honorary Treasurer; and
Mr. P.. A. Hughes, our Honorary Auditor.
We must again thank the Camberwell Borough Council
for allowing the Committee to meet at the Town Hall.
Dr. H.D. Chalke, Medical Officer of Health for
Camberwell, was again good enough to include the Care
Committee's Annual Report for 1959 in his own Annual
Report for that year. This recognition of our work is
much appreciated.
