Biographical history
The National Temperance Foundation was founded in 1883. It acted as a co-ordinating body bringing together the various temperance organisations to speak with one voice (at one time there were over 100 affiliated societies).
"The basis of co-operation of the Federated Societies is that they should work together in view of legislative and other actions on the points upon which they are agreed, and as a united body, bring their influence to bear on Parliament, and with Her Majesty's Government, and through the county generally" (extract from Constitution).
These societies included the British Temperance Society, National United Temperance Council and London United Temperance Council (see Acc/2425) and the Christian Economic and Social Research Council (see LMA/4006). The records of the National Licensed Victuallers Association (see Acc/3122) make for good comparative reading.
