Premises For Association
Provision of suitable premises was the main concern of the Canterbury Sheltered Workshop Association last year, says the association’s annual report. The report says that in 1959 the Crippled Children Society made the rear part of a double garage available to the association. The walls were lined, benches were set up. and the work of the boy trainees was concentrated there. Conditions were somewhat cramped under this arrangement and a search for more suitable premises continued. The Crippled Children Society offered to build a workshop at the rear of its premises. and plans had been approved and estimates obtained when a house next to the society’s office was offered for sale. The societybought the house and allowed the association to adapt it for its own use. Alterations started in February and the boys began to move into the nerv quarters at the end of March The girls will move in soon, saws the report. The association’s roll at March 31. was seven male trainees and 12 girls.
