CYD-DESTUN
Hanes bywgraffyddol/gweinyddol: Cardiff Poor Cripples Aids Society was founded in October 1908 following a public meeting held at the Lord Mayors parlour in Cardiff. The organisation, which relied on private donations, provided medical and financial assistance for disabled people as well as finding them employment. The first patron of the Society was John Cory, the great Cardiff shipowner, but one of the biggest influences on its work was Sir James German, chairman between 1924 and 1936, when he took over as president. He was head of a large firm of chartering agents and his office in the Cardiff Exchange was used for meetings. He also used his influence and shipping contacts to raise money for the society. Another leading docks figure, T. Lawton Loveridge, of Loveridge Ltd., ship's chandlers, was also involved in the society. The society was formally disbanded in May 1949, but it did in fact continue its work, although in a very informal way, for some decades after. This was due to the dedication of Lieutenant Colonel Stanley Mathews, MC, and later his son, Jim Mathews. During this time the remaining funds were distributed to the physically impaired in the form of a 'christmas bonus'. When the society was eventually disbanded the remaining funds were handed to a local branch of the Salvation Army.
