Revision as of 20:45, 18 February 2020
Toynbee Hall was the first university-affiliated institution of the worldwide Settlement movement—a reformist social agenda that strove to get the rich and poor to live more closely together in an interdependent community.[1] Founded by Henrietta and Samuel Barnett in 1884 in the economically depressed East End of London[2], it was named in memory of their friend and fellow reformer, Oxford historian Arnold Toynbee, who had died the previous year.
Toynbee Hall works to bridge the gap between people of all social and financial backgrounds, with a focus on working towards a future without poverty. It continues to serve that purpose in the present day.
The Settlement movement
Toynbee Hall was the first university settlement house of the world-wide settlement movement.[3] Students from Oxford and Cambridge University lived there, to undertake social work in the deprived areas of the East End.[4] By 1900 there were over 100 settlements in the United States and across the UK,[5] and in 1911 the leaders of the social settlement movement founded the National Federation of Settlements.[6] More on the different Settlement Houses around the Globe. Talk some about Hull House. Brief Social Histoy (add more).
