The Ladies' Committee began allocating temporary relief for employed and retired governesses in 1843. They tended to be one-off or short-term payments to cover the cost of food, travel, clothing or accommodation during temporary unemployment or hardship. In 1932 or 1933, the committee was renamed the Temporary Assistance Committee and was responsible for overseeing the Almoner's Department. Its name changed to the Relief Committee in February 1939 and them changed again in July 1948 to the Ladies Welfare Committee. In January 1960, its name reverted to the Ladies Committee and assumed some of the functions of the Homes Committee which was discontinued. It was still in existence in 1982.
