By the first decade of the twentieth century, the Refuge was still operating under the same ‘catch them young’ philosophy that had been employed during its early years. An article in the Welldoer, the newsletter of the League of Welldoers, records the kind of women targeted by the Refuge during the early 1900s.

Women ‘from the streets’ are not admitted, because there are now numerous institutions…. to receive such. Young domestic servants, who have lost their place and character by some act of dishonesty; girls over whom their natural guardians have lost control; first offenders bound over and placed under probation, form the class received at the institution (1909: 2).
