Its aim was to "secure systematic co-operation between social, charitable and industrial undertakings throughout the metropolis, and the establishment of councils of social welfare in every metropolitan borough to give effect to these objects".
In 1919 the Association changed its name to the London Council of Social Service (LCSS).
This was an advice organisation that provided advice for local councils of social service and coordinated links between voluntary organisations and local authorities.

In the statement on the LVSC website, the charity's board said: "After 107 years supporting London's thousands of civil society organisations so they can meet the needs of our communities, LVSC has transferred its remaining functions over to GLV [Greater London Volunteering] in preparation for the establishment of a hub for London.
