| Description | These papers are on varied topics and include a letter to Avtar Jouhl from Handsworth Law Centre giving details about the organisation's activities and its intention to extend its work into community relations, inviting local organisations to make use of legal and advisory services at the centre, August 1979. There is also a statement issued by the Shaheed Udham Singh Welfare Centre to all shopkeepers in Handsworth who suffered losses during the uprisings in the area during the nights of 9 and 10 September 1985, urging them to campaign for compensation.
There is also a report on a project to set up an adventure playground in Smethwick in 1969, organised by a group of local organisations with the support of the local MP Andrew Faulds. This group was to be called the Smethwick Adventure Playground Association. Although there is no indication that the Indian Workers Association was involved in this venture, it is possible that the organisation would have taken an interest in the provision of social and leisure facilities for the local community in Smethwick.
In addition, the file includes a four page article in Punjabi about the prevention of diabetes, containing an exercise programme and diet plan; and an incomplete annotated typescript consisting of pages 4 and 5 only, containing details of 'the legal aspects of drugs' and information about resources for drug users with addiction problems. This typescript is undated |
