VOLUNTARY SERVICES
FINCHLEY OLD PEOPLE'S WELFARE COMMITTEE
Public Health Department, 308, Regents Park Road, N.3.
The Finchley Old People's Welfare Committee endeavours to assist elderly people
resident in the Borough by making known and bringing to them the services which are
available to persons of 60 years and over. A number of voluntary visitors, both men
and women, are on the register of the Committee. This service is intended for
those who have difficulty in getting out either temporarily or permanently. The
purpose of the visiting is to provide a link between the elderly person and the Finchley
Old People's Welfare Committee and gives the opportunity of suggesting and obtaining,
if required, the various services which would be suitable in his or her case. Visitors
arrange to call when possible once in every two weeks. Problems can be discussed
and sometimes assistance can be given in washing up, clothes mending or shopping.
Eye Testing
In special circumstances, elderly people may have their eyes tested at home.
