Abstract
Based upon the information recorded in the Minutes Books of the Sunderland Waifs' Rescue Agency and Street Vendors' Club between 1901 and 1910, this chapter analyses the relationship between the benefits which accrued to boys who joined the clubs and the intentions of the club's sponsors to use the club as a means of enabling the poorest boys to access regular work. It demonstrates modes of resistance amongst boys and their families and relates this to the real conditions of work and home which characterised the lives of the boys.
