About Charity Organization Society
The Charity Organisation Societies (COS) were poverty relief organizations founded first in London, England on April 22, 1869. The society was an organized response to increased poverty that resulted from urbanization and the loss of smaller communal support networks in industrial Europe. The COS sought to use a scientific approach to relief management, utilizing a team of investigators and supervisors to understand the specifics of poverty in their area. The COS has been identified as a forerunner of the modern field of social work.
