History
The Welcome Charitable Institute was founded in 1882 to provide assistance to women and girls working in factories in the City. From 1967 to 1982 it was known as the Welcome Fellowship. It was dissolved in 1982. From 1882 to 1940 the Institute had premises in Jewin Street; after the destruction of these premises by enemy action in 1940, it worked from a number of addresses in the northern part of the City. The Institute maintained a holiday home at Littlehampton, Sussex, from 1911 to 1962.
