Excerpt from Conference on War Relief and Personal Service: Organised by Charity Organisation Societies and Guilds of Help The Chairman: Your Grace, Ladies, and Gentlemen, - I have been asked to read the following letters of regret for absence from the meeting. The first is from the Archbishop of York, who says: 'I am much interested to hear of the proposed Conference, and wish most heartily that I could be present, especially during the discussion of the subject fixed for June 11; but I fear it is impossible. I am held up by many engagements in this part of the world, fixed long ago. I must content myself with wishing every success to the Conference.' Then we have a note from Lady St. Cyres, who writes to say that she is away in the country, under doctors orders, for rest, and fears that she will not be able to be present. Mrs. H.B. Irving expresses regret at not being able to be present, so does Miss Macarthur. We have similar letters from Lady Roberts, Lady French, the Bishop of Winchester, Lady Eglinton, and Lord Grey.

This book challenges scholarship which presents charity and voluntary activity during World War I as marking a downturn from the high point of the late Victorian period. Charitable donations rose to an all-time peak, and the scope and nature of charitable work shifted decisively. Far more working class activists, especially women, became involved, although there were significant differences between the suburban south and industrial north of England and Scotland. The book also corrects the idea that charitably-minded civilians’ efforts alienated the men at the front, in contrast to the degree of negativity that surrounds much previous work on voluntary action in this period. Far from there being an unbridgeable gap in understanding or empathy between soldiers and civilians, the links were strong, and charitable contributions were enormously important in maintaining troop morale. This bond significantly contributed to the development and maintenance of social capital in Britain, which, in turn, strongly supported the war effort. This work draws on previously unused primary sources, notably those regarding the developing role of the UK’s Director General of Voluntary Organizations and the regulatory legislation of the period.

This book explores the rich history of voluntary action in the United Kingdom over the past 100 years, through the lens of the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO), which celebrates its centenary in 2019. From its establishment at the end of the First World War, through the creation of the Welfare State in the middle of the twentieth century, to New Labour and the Big Society at the beginning of this century, NCVO has been at the forefront of major developments within society and the voluntary movement. The book examines its many successes, including its role in establishing high-profile charities such as Age Concern, the Youth Hostels Association, and National Association of Citizens’ Advice Bureaux. It charts the development of closer relations with the state, resulting in growing awareness of the value of voluntary action, increased funding, and beneficial changes to public policy, tax and charity law. But it also explores the criticisms NCVO has faced, in particular that by pursuing a partnership agenda and championing professionalisation, it has contributed to an erosion of the movement’s independence and distinctiveness.
