The result of the Christmas Seals Sale, after deduction of
administrative expenses, as reported by the Organiser to the
Annual General Meeting amounted to £87.10s 4d.
The County Organiser, Health Visitor, Chest physician and
District Officer have given invaluable service to the Committee
WELFARE OF OLD PEOPLE
This continued to provide an increasing demand on the services
of the Health Department and the Crayford Old Peoples Welfare
Committee. Many cases brought to the notice of the Department
by the Committee Visitors and otherwise discovered, have been
visited by the Medical Officer of Health and Chief Public Health
Inspector. Arrangements have been made for entry into Old peoples
Homes where this has been possible.
The Visiting Service carried out by the Crayford Old Peoples
Welfare Committee continues to flourish. Help is given to the
old folk with clothing and small home comforts, gifts of tea and
sugar. Two wheelchairs, one purchased by the Committee and one
donated to the Committee, both for the purpose of loaning out
to old people, are used extensively.
Many services have been rendered to elderly people and much
assistance is given by other Voluntary Organisations to the Old
Peoples Welfare Committee. Last offices have been carried out by
Visitors.
Close co-operation is maintained with the Kent County
Council's District Officer, the National Assistance Board, the
Women's Voluntary Service, the St. John Ambulance Brigade and
Nursing Division and Red Cross.
