Welfare poods
It has always been the policy in Croydon to distribute at
the Infant Welfare centres only National Dried Milk and vitamin
preparations, and there has never been any question of mothers
being attracted to the Centres because a large variety of proprietory
supplies are available at special prices. In Croydon
the final distribution of National Dried Milk and vitamin preparations
to the mothers concerned is performed almost entirely
by Voluntary Workers. The central office now at St. Michael's
Road is open for 5½ days a week and is staffed by members of the
Women's voluntary Services. At the Infant Welfare Centres it is
usually the duty of one or other of the voluntary workers
regularly attending the Centre.
