Early lifeAves was born on 22 August 1898 in Hertfordshire to social reformer Harry Ernest Aves and Eva Mary Aves (born Maitland).[1] Her mother was a daughter of suffragist and educationalist Emma Maitland. She was educated at Frognal School and then Newnham College, Cambridge, where she graduated with third-class honours in economics. During her time at university, she became president of the Women's University Settlement, which was focused on the welfare of women and children in deprived areas of London.[2] Social workIn 1924, Aves became an assistant organiser for London County Council. Care organisers were usually expected to hold a diploma in a social science, but Theodora Morton accepted her economics degree as a substitute.[3] She was promoted to Principal Assistant Organiser in 1930.[3] In 1938, she was involved in planning the evacuation of children, a role she held until 1941.[4] She became permanent Chief Welfare Officer in the Ministry of Health in 1946, a role she had held on secondment during the Second World War, from 1941.[2][4] In this role, which she held until the 1963, she supported post-war reforms of welfare and the establishment of a modern social service system.[3][5] She worked on secondment for brief periods at both the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration and the Home Office at the start of this role.[4] Aves held various short-term positions in family and child welfare for the United Nations alongside her role in the Ministry for Health throughout her tenure there.[1][4] She chaired the Commission on the Role of the Voluntary Worker in the Social Services from its establishment by the National Council of Social Services in 1966.[5][6] Her 1969 report on the role of volunteers in social service, The Voluntary Worker in the Social Services, led to the establishment of the Volunteer Centre. It encouraged an increase in the number of volunteers involved in health and social services, a proposal which was opposed by trade unions.[6] The Volunteer CentreThe Volunteer Centre was established in January 1973, with future Labour MP Mike Thomas as director and Aves a founder member of its board of governors. She became vice-president in 1974. Her work, which had been recognised in part due to the advocacy of economist Brian Abel-Smith, with the Volunteer Centre led to her becoming a Dame in 1977.[6] In 1975, Aves chaired an independent commission for the National Association of Voluntary Help Organisers.[6][7] Personal lifeAves lived in Highgate for most of her life.[8] She was a member of the Highgate Literary and Scientific Institution, and enjoyed birdwatching.[4][9] She was baptised at the age of thirty-four.[1] HonoursAves was awarded the Order of the British Empire in 1946 for her contribution to wartime social services before being made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1963 on her retirement from the Civil Service.[1] She was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1977.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{Cite journal|title=Aves, Ernest Harry (1857–1917), social investigator and civil servant {{!}} Oxford Dictionary of National Biography|url=http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/10.1093/ref:odnb/9780198614128.001.0001/odnb-9780198614128-e-47803|language=en|doi=10.1093/ref:odnb/9780198614128.001.0001/odnb-9780198614128-e-47803}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Aves, Geraldine}}2. ^1 {{Cite book|url=https://warwick.ac.uk/services/library/mrc/explorefurther/speakingarchives/socialwork/929.publ_no_2_aves.pdf|title=The Cohen Interviews: Geraldine Aves|last=Cohen|first=Alan|publisher=Warwick University|year=2013|isbn=|location=|pages=1–2}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9xOgCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA50|title=The Social Worker Speaks: A History of Social Workers Through the Twentieth Century|author=David Burnham|date=24 February 2016|publisher=Routledge|isbn=978-1-317-01546-8|pages=50–60}} 4. ^1 2 3 4 {{Cite journal|title=Aves, Dame Geraldine (Maitland), (22 Aug. 1898–23 June 1986) {{!}} WHO'S WHO & WHO WAS WHO|url=http://www.ukwhoswho.com/view/10.1093/ww/9780199540891.001.0001/ww-9780199540884-e-161627|language=en|doi=10.1093/ww/9780199540891.001.0001/ww-9780199540884-e-161627}} 5. ^1 {{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AbpMAQAAIAAJ|title=Nursing times|publisher=Macmillan Journals Limited|year=1969}} 6. ^1 2 3 {{Cite book|url=https://library.lse.ac.uk/archives/digital/Volunteering_England.pdf|title=The Volunteering England Archive: An Overview and Historical Background|last=Finnegan|first=Anjelica|publisher=London School of Economics|year=2012|isbn=|location=|pages=2–13}} 7. ^{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Z4HoAAAAMAAJ|title=Municipal Journal, Public Works Engineer Contractor's Guide|year=1976}} 8. ^{{cite book|author=Tony Aldous|title=The Illustrated London News' book of London's villages|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=z4VnAAAAMAAJ|year=1980|publisher=Secker and Warburg|page=199}} 9. ^{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iyAXAQAAIAAJ|title=The heart of a London village: the Highgate Literary and Scientific Institution, 1839-1990|author=Highgate Literary & Scientific Institution.
