Infant Welfare Centres.—There are six Centres in the
Borough, four under the auspices of the Hammersmith
Infant Welfare Association, one under the management of
the Latymer Road Mission and the College Park Centre,
held at the Presbyterian Church Hall, Ponsard Road.
The Borough Council makes grants to all the Associations
responsible for their management.
Twelve sessions, one for toddlers and eleven for infants
are held weekly.
The work of the Centres has been of inestimable value.
They are closely associated with and form an important
part of the Maternity and Child Welfare Scheme of the
Borough Council.
