SECTION 4
OLD PEOPLE'S WELFARE
OLD PEOPLES' LIAISON COMMITTEE
This Committee is representative of the Council and those voluntary organisations
receiving grants from the Borough Council under the National Assistance Act. it
meets annually for the purposes of co-ordinating the running of the services of these
organisations for the year. The voluntary associations are able to bring to the notice
of the Council any difficulties they have encountered during the year, any proposals
they may have for extending their services during the coming year and a statement of
their future financial requirements. Its recommendations are then referred to the Public
Health Committee.
This committee has functioned very satisfactorily in providing a method of making
an overall assessment of the need and ways of meeting needs.
The Members of the Committee for 1963 were:
Councillor Clay (Chairman)

WORK CENTRES
During the year the Borough's three Work Centres, administered by the Ealing
Committee for the Employment and Recreation of Elderly Citizens, have continued
to provide daily employment for a large number of elderly people of retirement age.
The Northolt Work Centre moved from the Parkway Room to the Northolt
Memorial Hall on the 26th June and the opening of the Centre was kindly carried out
by the Worshipful the Mayor, on Monday, 1st June. The move has been of great
benefit as the Northolt Centre can now accommodate 48 persons, whereas before the
maximum number was 23. In addition there is adequate storage space, one of the
essential features of any satisfactory centre.
The two other Centres are:—
Territorial Drill Hall, Churchfield Road, West Ealing
The Methodist Church Hall, Ruislip Road, Greenford.
