In the larger towns, several schemes are in operation. In Liverpool and on the Merseyside, for instance, there are thirty social centres for unemployed men, and the activities at these take many forms. Occupation centres are popular. Disused buildings have in several-cases been taken over at little or no rent, and equipped for woodwork, boot repairing, and similar jobs, recreation, physical training, library and other educational facilities, which are widely welcomed.
