História biográfica
The Needlework Guild was founded in 1913 as a branch of the London Women's League of the Congregational Church. They aimed to supply Congregational churches with new clothes that could be distributed to the needy. During the First and Second World Wars they made clothes for refugees and bombed-out families as well as bandages and other hospital supplies and sandbags.
In 1950 the name was changed to The Needlework and Handicraft Guild to reflect the increasing number of products such as toiletries made for distribution to churches for sale at bazaars. However, the 'Handicraft' addition was dropped in 1954. When the Congregational Church merged with the Presbyterian Church in 1972 the Guild membership grew as former Presbyterians joined.
In 1992 it was decided to change the name of the Guild which was considered misleading as the Guild was not strictly speaking a 'guild' and as the 'needlework' implied that they made church vestments and cloths. In 1994 the name 'Capital Care and Concern' was adopted. However, in 1999 the society was closed as it was becoming increasingly difficult to attract members.
