I am indebted to Miss Cooney, Supervisor of the Occupation
Centre, for the following report:-
The Centre had a quiet year and there were no staffing
changes. The Annual Sale of Work held early in September was
reasonably successful in spite of inclement weather and sales
for the day amounted to £29.15.8. All the children thoroughly
enjoyed the Annual Christmas Party which was held on December
17th, and the programme included a film show and games, followed
by tea, fruit and ice cream.
The Croydon & District Society for Mentally Handicapped
Children maintained its interest in the work of the Centre and
very kindly arranged for 55 children to attend the Circus at
Olympia. Members of the Society also contributed generously to
the Christmas Party.
One girl who attended the Centre and had responded well to
training was found employment in a local laundry.
