Victorian London - Charities - list of charities see also Herbert Fry's Royal Guide to the London Charities (1917) - click here "The Charity for the Houseless Poor affords nightly shelter and sustenance to the absolutely destitute working- classes, who are suddenly thrown out of employment by inclement weather. The asylum accommodates 600 persons; the amount of relief afforded in night-lodging is one and a half millions, and in rations of bread over three and a half millions. "The charities for relief of specific distress comprehend one for accidents, two for widows, several for relief of small debtors, three for distressed sailors, one for Scotch, one for foreigners, two for French, one for Germans, one for Poles - making over seventeen, with an aggregate income of 30,000l., two-thirds of which are raised by annual subscriptions. The Jewish miscellaneous charities comprise over· twenty-five institutions, with an average income of about 12,000l. There are over twenty for the benefit of needlewomen, servants, and other industrious classes, and for aiding emigration, with an aggregate income of about 10,000l. a year, the result of subscriptions. There are six Benevolent Pension Societies, with about 600 pensioners. There are six requiring specific claims, with between 600 and 700 pensioners, of about 24,000l. a year, half of which is raised by subscriptions. There are fifteen for granting aid to aged and necessitous clergymen and ministers, and their families, possessing about 36,000l. a year, half of which results from subscriptions. We must specially note here the 'Friend of the Clergy Corporation,' whose benevolent objects are much crippled by the inadequacy of its income. There are thirty-two professional and trade benevolent societies, which spend about 54,000l. a year. The City Companies are also intrusted with large funds, the amount of which it is difficult to ascertain Cruchley's London in 1865 : A Handbook for Strangers, 1865 [ ... back to main menu for this book] Charities,—The following are the principal Charities, with their objects, according to official returns furnished at the Editor's request by their respective secretaries.
