Catholic and Community Service Organisation

The Catholic Welfare Organisation originated in 1940 to provide amenities to the soldiers in the Catholic hut at Brighton. At the end of World War Two, it appears to have extended its activities to other social causes. For instance, it provided support to girls leaving St Joseph's Orphanage. The Catholic Welfare Organisation closed in about 1948.
