Unitarian Brotherhood

I am probably posting this in the wrong place but.....

Great Uncle Harry Woodyatt of 27 Bishop Street, Birmingham, has written on his medical discharge form from WW1 that his National health Approved Society is the Unitarian Brotherhood, Birmingham.

Can anyone tell me anything about this organisation? Do any of their records survive and if so where are they stored?

I'll try posting this request around the site and see if anyone can up with something

Thanks for reading this

Unitarians are Christians, there is no strict dogma they need adhere to as far as I know, they can pretty well believe what they like. . .
 
Yes but what I am really after is info about their role as a National Health Approved Society.

Before the welfare state came into being after WW2, workers used to pay into "clubs" so that they could be paid "benefit" in times of hardship such as illness.

Harry appears to have offered the Unitarian Brotherhood as his "club" when he enlisted in 1914. I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge about their role in that type of work?
