The Society was formed in 1886 'to relieve cases of distress and illness amongst the industrious and deserving poor, to aid them by means of loans, without interest and with approved security, to be repaid by instalments or otherwise, to repress begging, and to assist emigration in suitable cases'. It was managed by an executive committee, with headquarters at the Town Hall. This committee met monthly to approve the accounts and to consider any special grants in relief, and weekly for normal relief purposes. Relief was granted in kind and by order on tradesmen. Applicants for relief had to bring a letter of recommendation, and applications were entered on a register.
