The past, the passion and the potential

We want to tell the story of the Settlement Movement because we think the vision, values and passion that drove radical Victorian reformers must drive what we do today. This short booklet traces the very start of the Movement at Toynbee Hall and looks at how its influence spread throughout Britain and then worldwide.

Packed with archive photos and with case studies of the achievements of the early settlers, this is a must read for anyone striving to win social justice for all in the twenty-first century.
