Section 3 – History of Community Work Community Work activities have been around for a considerably long time, centuries in fact, but it was never called community work. It was work carried out by people and organisations such as philanthropists, missionaries, the Quakers, the Salvation Army, the rich, and the good and the great who were helping people less fortunate than themselves. In the late 1950s and early 1960s accounts of practice and theoretical explorations began to appear that viewed community workers as a distinct occupation. Prior to this there were separate groups of workers such as community centre wardens, secretaries of councils of social services, and development workers on new housing estates, who did not possess a common occupational identity. The Young husband Report (1959) on social work was a significant turning point. It specifically drew on the North American division of social work into casework, group work, and community organisation describing the latter as: Primarily aimed at helping people within a local community to identify social needs, to consider the most effective ways of meeting these and to set about doing so, in so far as their available resources permit. The term community work has a relatively short history in the United Kingdom. Nonetheless, the number of practitioners who were described as being engaged in community work by the early 1980s was roughly equivalent to youth work or adult education. Over the past 50 years, community work has developed gradually, and has been influenced by three influencing reports. These being: Kuenstler (1961) The Gulbenkian Report (1968) the Alexander Report (1975) 21
