History
The Tailors' and Outfitters' Assistants' Mutual Association was established in 1893 for the relief of poverty and distress of employees working in a department of a tailoring or outfitting establishment, qualified teachers of the trade and their dependants. In 1972 the Association became known as the General Friendly Society. The Tailors' and Outfitters' Assistants' Mutual Association Benevolent Fund was established in 1970 by trust deed. The Society was dissolved in 1978, and the benevolent fund was merged in 1993 with the Tailors' Benevolent Institute, a trust fund to 'relieve either generally or individually persons who are or have been journeyman tailors or tailoresses'.
