WELFARE OF OLD PEOPLE
There is in the Borough much voluntary activity devoted to this
cause such as provision of weekly clubs, daily centre, arranging
seaside holidays, distribution of Christmas gifts and visiting of
house-bound.
The work is co-ordinated through the Surbiton Old People's
Welfare Committee, a voluntary body representative of most walks
of life and presided overy by His Worship the Mayor.
The Town Council leases to the Committee a large house which,
after extensive works of repair and re-decoration, was opened in
September 1958 as a Centre for old people, including clubrooms,
recreation rooms, handicraft room, chiropody clinic and canteen.
