In addition, much valuable work is done by voluntary workers attached
to the Society.
Under section 101 (6) of the Local Government Act, 1929, the Borough
Council made an annual contribution of £3,535 to the Violet Melchett
Infant Welfare Centre for services in respect of Maternity and Child
Welfare work for the financial year 19A1-19^3.
Reference will now be made to the activities of the three organisations
included in the Violet Melchett Infant Welfare Centre.
(1) Chelsea Health Society.—Flood Walk, S.W.3.
The accommodation provided includes a large central hall, with
surrounding consulting-rooms and dressing rooms. There is also a
perambulator store, an open-air court with a garden where children may
play while awaiting medical inspection, and ample office accommodation.
During the year five infant clinics were held weekly—four at Flood
Walk and one at 484, King's Road. At Flood Walk one ante-natal
clinic was held weekly. In addition, Play Mornings are held daily from
9.0 to 12.0 under the supervision of a Health Visitor, for children referred
by the Medical Staff for observation, as being reported difficult, or needing
companionship, fresh air or space.
Details of the work carried out by the Society will be found on page
32 (Table No. 26).
(2) Chelsea Day Nursery, Flood Street, S.W.3.
Throughout the year the Nursery
functioned at an address in
