3. Other Clubs.
Apart from LOPWA the Council continued to make grants to
organisations in the borough which carry out work for old people,
whether by recreational facilities or by the provision of meals. A sum
of £24,700 (to include LOPWA) was eventually put in the annual
estimates for the year 1964-65 for such organisations as accepted the
Council's conditions and to assist any such organisations as might be
established during that year. Reports were made to the Public Health
committee giving details of the work undertaken by the voluntary
organisations and as a result grants were made as follows:—
£
Lewisham Old People's Welfare Association 22,000
Lewisham Darby and Joan Club 450

This left a sum of money available for new clubs which might
qualify for grant. Additional grants were paid to nearly all the clubs
as a help towards fares.
