Holiday Scheme.
In May 1953 a party of 110 old people were able to
spend a week s holiday at Cliftonville at reduced rates.
It was possible on this occasion to accommodate them in
two hotels, instead of, as in previous years, two or
three here and there All arrangements, including travelling,
were made by the Welfare Committee and financial
assistance given where necessary.
Christmas Dinners
For the past two or three years lonely old people
and bed-ridden people have been provided without charge
with a Christmas dinner, some 120 of these were distributed
on Christmas Eve.
Over Sixties club.
This Club meets every Monday afternoon and its
membership increased during the year by 20 to a figure
of 188. Its numerous activities have continued throughout
the year
Non-Residential Club.
It was not found possible to proceed during the
year with the acquisition of premises for this purpose,
but as a result of recent developments- however, it is
hoped that suitable accommodation would be placed at the
Committee s disposal to enable such a Club to be opened
and provide permanent office accommodation in the near
future.
