Description:
This volume challenges many widely held beliefs about the efficacy of the London Charity Organisation Society. The Charity Organisation Society continues to be used as an institutional model of the alleged advantages of voluntarism over state benefits. Poor Relief and Charity 1869-1945 exposes the misleading nature of many of its claims. It explains why the Organisation was shunned by other charities, treated with suspicion by parish clergy, disregarded by poor law guardians, and seen as little different from the stigmatized poor law by those in need.
