What did the English government do to fight the impoverishment in the victorian age?

by fmxo

I am doing a presentation on the social question in England in the victorian age and I´m looking for any reading material or sources on what the government did to change the rising impoverishment. I wasn´t able to find much valuable information and thought maybe someone in here could help me out. TIA

What exactly did you search for and what did you find? This is an issue of such overwhelming importance that I'm having a hard time understanding how one could not find much.
