Disgrifiad
A booklet for a Queen's Nurses Fair. The booklet consists of 38 pages and was printed as a souvenir brochure for a two-day fair on 21 and 22 October 1931, held at Cardiff City Hall, organised by the Queen's Institute for District Nursing Cardiff and District branch. The fundraising event was 'to clear the debt of the maternity department building fund and to put the general nursing department on a sound financial basis'.
The charity traces its origins to 1887 with the grant of £70,000 by Queen Victoria from the Women's Jubilee Fund. A Royal Charter in 1889 named it 'Queen Victoria's Jubilee Institute for Nurses' and gave it the objectives of providing the 'training, support, maintenance and supply' of district and practice nurses (as opposed to hospital nurses) for the sick poor, as well as establishing training homes and establishing branches. It built on the pioneering work of philanthropist William Rathbone of Liverpool in 1859. In 1928 the name was altered to Queen's Institute of District Nursing, though it was often known by the shorter name of Queen's Nurses Institute. In 1973 the formal name changed to Queen's Nursing Institute.
The Welsh branch started in 1890 and was initially based in the Cardiff area but gradually grew to cover most of Wales. The branch was therefore later reconstituted as 'Cardiff and District.'
