Description

This scholarly work from Routledge examines the history of the voluntary sector in British towns and cities, with a unique focus on the recipients of charity rather than donors or institutions. The book explores the role of medicine, charity, and mutual aid in Britain's welfare system across four centuries, from c.1550 to 1950. By shifting perspective to those who received support, the author investigates crucial questions about social control, community cohesion, and the dynamics between welfare providers and recipients. Part of the Historical Urban Studies series, this volume builds on recent scholarly interest in voluntary organisations whilst filling a significant gap in the literature by prioritising the recipient's experience and agency within Britain's evolving healthcare and welfare landscape.
