Welfare Centres. These are set out in detail in Table No.
50. At the end of the year 3 ante-natal and 17 infant consultations
were being held each week.
Voluntary Centre. Excellent work has been done at the
Voluntary Centre at the Victory Club, Beresford Street,
Woolwich. These voluntary workers are engaged in one of the
worst areas in Woolwich and their duties are so difficult that
great credit is due to them. The number of children
attending the centre during the year was 124 and the total
number of attendances, including mothers, was 899.
The Work of the Centres. The following Table, No. 53,
gives detailed statistics for the year 1923 and consolidated
statistics for the year 1922. The large increase in the number
of attendances at the Slade Centre, held at the Wesley Hall,
Timbercroft Lane, Plumstead, has shewn that the necessity
for this Centre has been more than justified.
