EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of joy and respite for children at the National Children's Home, Chipping Norton, circa 1910. The branch of the Home, which catered specifically for children with physical disabilities, provided essential care and support for those who often faced significant challenges in their daily lives. In the image, three children are seen enjoying the shelter of the garden, a welcome refuge from the elements. One child leans on crutches, while two others are seated in wheelchairs. Their expressions convey a sense of happiness and contentment, as they engage in simple pleasures, such as playing with toys or watching the world go by. The National Children's Home was an important institution during this era, offering vital services for children who were orphans, abandoned, or in need of care due to various circumstances. The Home provided a safe and nurturing environment, where children could receive the medical attention, education, and social interaction they required to thrive. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the past and the essential role that children's homes and welfare services have played in shaping the lives of countless individuals. It also highlights the importance of providing opportunities for children with disabilities to live full and meaningful lives, a cause that remains relevant to this day.
