Extract from the Cardiff Poor Cripples Aid Society Minutes Book, Volume One, covering Committee meetings until 4 February 1935. The extract is from a meeting held on 20 September 1928 in which the Society discussed arrangements to place a sign over a small Coffee Tavern, which had belonged to the Cripples Aid Society and which had helped its owner, Mr Robert Milman, a 'cripple' beneficiary, to make a living for 19 years. Plans as to how to make the day a memorable event were discussed.

Earlier meetings in the volume are not that organised, but meetings become more organised after March 1925 with a new Chairman, Sir James German.

Cardiff Poor Cripples Aid Society was active between 1908 and 1949 officially, but continued its work informally decades after, until eventually handing the last funds to the local Salvation Army. The main activities of the Society was to provide medical and financial assistance to disabled people as well as to help them find employment.
