(4) Gas Cookers for Handicapped Persons. In co-operation with the
Eastern Gas Board, The Broadway, Edmonton, we have dealt with a number of
applications for a special type of gas cooker for handicapped old people.
This is a first class scheme with little or no cost to many of the old people,
and its importance should be more widely known.
(5) Gifts of Material to Sewing Corner. Peggy Page Limited, and
Gor-Ray Limited, have been most generous in sending off-cuts of material for
the Sewing Corner at the William Preye Club, and we offer them our special
thanks.
(6) Visits: Visitors & Lectures. The Association have received
during the year, a number of visitors sponsored through the London Council
of Social Service and the National Old People's Welfare Council. We remember
especially the visitors from Edmonton, Canada.
The Welfare Organiser has also given a number of lectures, by
invitation, on the work of the Association.
CONCLUSION
The Association, working through the Executive Committee, can be
justly proud of its achievements during the past year. With its wide
representation of interests, in the field of social welfare, they know of
the need for these services in the Borough of Edmonton, and their importance
for the social well-being of the people they serve, and no matter what changes
are ahead the people of Edmonton can be assured that there will be no loss or
deterioration in any of these services.
Working together as a team for the common good, the Association and
its affiliated organisation go forward with confidence to face the problems
of another year, and by maintaining and expanding the services it provides,
thereby rightly earning the place it has achieved in the field of social
welfare.
