Social welfare centre
Sitting here gazing out at the snow, I am thinking back to being in Mauritius last month. Every district seemed to have a social welfare centre. Obviously this was mainly a community centre, but there seemed to be playgroups, mothers groups, unemployed people’s groups and so on. Why isn’t a government social welfare provision like this central to every local community in Britain. Are we just too well developed for it? I don’t think so. I think a lot of people would appreciate a place that they can go to work together to enhance their well-being locally. And lovely to see ’social’ provision called that, and not provision for health or children. This one had a lovely view of the bay at Mahebourg at the wide.
