What does "common end" mean? I read somewhere and came across the part "work to a common end".

Something that is relevant to all.

"The common aim of the volunteers was to clean up the effects of the flood" = They all want to clear up the mess.
"The common end of the voluntary work is cleaning the street."

end = aim = goal = purpose

common = the same for everybody
