EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at Barnardos Home in Barkingside, Essex, around 1910. The image shows a group of girls and staff gathered in the grounds of the Village Home for Orphan, Neglected and Destitute Girls, established by the renowned philanthropist Thomas Barnardo in 1873. The girls, dressed in simple clothing, are seen playing and interacting with each other, while the dedicated staff look on with care and concern. In the background, the children's cottages stand proudly, providing a safe and nurturing environment for those in need. Thomas Barnardo, a doctor and philanthropist, dedicated his life to alleviating the suffering of homeless, orphaned, and neglected children in Victorian and Edwardian England. Barnardo's Homes, as they came to be known, offered a range of facilities including medical care, education, and vocational training to help the children earn a living and build a better future for themselves. The girls in this photograph appear to be enjoying a sunny day in the grounds, perhaps during a break from their studies or work. The staff, dressed in their uniforms, seem to be engaged in their duties, providing care, guidance, and support to the girls in their charge. The conditions at Barnardo's Homes were vastly superior to those of the workhouses and other institutions of the time, offering a glimmer of hope and opportunity to thousands of young girls who would otherwise have faced a life of poverty and neglect. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the important work carried out by Barnardo and his team at Barnardo's Homes over a century ago. It offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the compassionate and caring environment that was created to help vulnerable girls in need.
