Saturday September 16th is on ‘Philanthropy’ and focuses on the famous Cadbury/Bournville development. Here a Quaker initiative drove care of factory work force to a quite remarkable level. The factory had two swimming pools, a concert hall and a library and, so they did not have to stand in wet feet during the working day in winter, female employees were given snow shoes and these developments were only a small part of a much wider story.
