This Afterword outlines the many ways in which campaigners for social reform have drawn on their personal experiences, and the expertise this has afforded them, to argue for remedies to overcome gaps in state services in the twentieth-century British welfare state. It notes that the theme of experiential expertise has been largely overlooked in previous studies of state welfare. Highlighted here is the importance of this concept in a wide range of examples. These include those of women’s campaigning groups in the pre-1945 period, the arguments of pioneering advisors to the Labour government on welfare reform and Non-Governmental Organisations from the 1950s. All these cases reveal how personal experience, individual and collective, has been a central force in many historic campaigns for welfare reform. The Afterword asserts that by using the framing of experiential expertise Everyday Welfare opens up neglected dimensions of the British welfare state which can be built upon in future to deepen understandings of past and present, successful and unsuccessful, moves to ensure that people “fare well”.
