The Housewives Service was established in 1938 by the Women’s Voluntary Service (WVS) to give housewives a role in assisting their local Air Raid Precautions (ARP) units during and after air raid attacks. In 1939 the service was formally established as part of the WVS Civil Defence. By 1942, the WVS Housewives Service had around 240,000 members which worked out at almost one for every street in Britain! Volunteers of the Housewives Service were trained in general Air Raid Precautions, home nursing, first aid and bandage dressings and other roles that included hosting bombed out families, refugee children and distribution of second-hand clothing. The service was regionalised at a borough or county council level with nearly every town and village having at least one member of the Housewives Service. During the Second World War, Exeter suffered heavily from the Luftwaffe’s bombing, especially from 1940 to 1942. A variant of this same design of badge exists, having blue instead of green enamel.

This badge was issued by the Women's Voluntary Services (WVS) from 1943 and remained part of the uniform for the duration of the war. This monogram badge would have been worn as part of the uniform on the scarf or at the neck or the dress or blouse of the uniform. Volunteers had to pay for their own uniform and the WVS monogram badge could have been purchased by any member of the WVS for 4s 6d (4 shillings & 6 pence). This badge was introduced in 1943. The WVS were formed in 1938 and continued as such until 1966 when they were renamed as the Women's Royal Voluntary Service (WRVS). The WRVS ceased to be a uniformed organisation in 1998. The legacy of the WVS is carried on to this day in the form of the Royal Voluntary Service. The WVS and its activities were organised on a local level and its members provided a wide range of duties and work that greatly helped the war effort. WVS members duties could have included work related to ambulance driving, knitting work parties, national savings, fund-raising activities, evacuations, assisting ARP, local training, food & clothing distribution, mobile canteen catering, home nursing & first aid, etc .

A scarce WW2 Home Front badge issued by the Ministry of Food. This badge would have been worn by volunteers who carried out various roles as a Food Leader. The badge was worn only when on duty. Food Leaders were usually members of the Women’s Voluntary Service (WVS) and assisted in a range of functions associated with food rationing, within their locality. Their work was carried out in conjunction with the local authorities and involved such tasks as information dissemination, cooking technique demonstrations for economy meals and food distribution. .
