British social reform movements

British social reform movements, especially during the 19th and early 20th centuries, aimed to improve society by addressing issues like poverty, workers’ rights, education, and public health. These movements gained momentum through activism, legislation, and advocacy, leading to reforms such as the Factory Acts, improving working conditions, and the establishment of schools and social services. They were driven by concerns about social inequality and a desire for a fairer society, often backed by organizations, reformers, and political change, shaping modern Britain’s welfare system and promoting social justice.
