General. In addition to the services already mentioned
there are many occasions when the needs of individual old
people have been met through the help given by voluntary bodies
associated with the Old People's Velfare Committee. By
their contribution in service for old people the voluntary
organisations and their workers have brought material help,
cheerfulness and the warmth of human friendliness into the
lives of many old persons. Much still remains to be done,
but it can be claimed that despite a period of financial
stringency much service has been given to old people in need
of help, advice and assistance through the statutory authorities
and voluntary organisations associated in welfare work.
