Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book analyses the Neighbourhood Guild, a pioneering Victorian concept for uplifting the working class. It argues the Guildâs comprehensive and secular approach, including all ages and sexes in its efforts to educate, socialise, and provide services, was superior to other charitable institutions of the time, who it claims often focused on a singular goal or excluded certain demographics. The author states the Guild aimed to reach the whole spectrum of working-class life, including preventive work and efforts to improve efficiency and culture. He believes that the Guildâs methods are still applicable today and that they provide a model for future social reform efforts.
