This volume presents the official "Report of the Proceedings of the National Conference on the Prevention of Destitution," held at Caxton Hall, Westminster, from May 30th to June 2nd, 1911. Presided over by the Rt. Hon. The Lord Mayor of London, the conference convened leading thinkers and reformers to address the pressing social issue of destitution.
The report offers a comprehensive record of the discussions, papers, and resolutions presented at the conference, providing valuable insights into the prevailing attitudes, proposed solutions, and societal challenges of the era. As a primary source document, this report is invaluable for researchers and students interested in social history, poverty studies, and the evolution of social welfare policies in early 20th-century England. It sheds light on historical approaches to poverty alleviation and the development of modern social safety nets.
