EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of determination and camaraderie among the members of the Cripples Football Team at Barnardos Home in Stepney Causeway, East London, circa 1905. The image showcases a group of brave boys, some of whom are using crutches to support their mobility, gathered together on a football field. Their focused expressions and team uniforms suggest a deep sense of unity and pride. Barnardos, a leading children's charity founded in 1867 by Thomas Barnardo, aimed to provide care and support for orphaned, abandoned, and neglected children. The Stepney Causeway Home was one of their many establishments that offered residential care, education, and vocational training to those in need. The football team was just one of the many services provided by Barnardo's to promote physical activity, social interaction, and overall wellbeing for the children in their care. Despite the challenges they faced, these boys found joy and fulfillment in playing football together. The game not only served as a source of entertainment but also helped to improve their physical health and self-confidence. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the resilience and strength of these young boys and the essential role that charities like Barnardo's played in providing vital care and services to vulnerable children in the early 20th century.
