1888 Frome Opened Strays Sunnyside Waifs Weymouth Oakfield
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of joy and relaxation for a group of boys from the Sunnyside Boys Home in Frome, as they enjoy a holiday by the seaside in Weymouth during the 1920s. The Sunnyside Home, located on Oakfield Road in Frome, was established in 1888 by the Waifs and Strays Society, a charitable organization dedicated to providing shelter, education, and care for destitute, neglected, and orphaned children. The Waifs and Strays Society, which was founded in 1881, operated a network of homes across the United Kingdom, with the aim of providing a safe and nurturing environment for children in need. The boys in this photograph appear to be enjoying the simple pleasures of a day at the beach, building sandcastles, playing in the water, and basking in the sun. The image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the important work of organizations like the Waifs and Strays Society, which continue to provide vital support and care for vulnerable children and young people today. The photograph also serves as a testament to the importance of holidays and time spent outdoors, which can bring joy, relaxation, and a sense of freedom to children, particularly those who have experienced hardship and adversity. The boys in this photograph are a reminder that every child deserves the opportunity to experience the simple pleasures of childhood, and to grow up in a safe and supportive environment.
