EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of The National Refuges Home for Boys and Girls in Royston, a historic children's care institution that provided shelter, education, and social support to orphaned and vulnerable children in the late 1920s. Originally established as the Home for Little Girls, this establishment later expanded to accommodate boys as well. The image shows a group of children, dressed in simple clothing, gathered around a table, engrossed in their studies. Their expressions convey a sense of focus and determination, reflecting the importance of education in shaping their futures. The National Refuges Home for Boys and Girls was an integral part of the welfare system during a time when the needs of orphaned and neglected children were greatly overlooked. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the vital role such institutions played in the lives of countless children, offering them a safe and nurturing environment in which to grow and flourish. The late 1920s marked a significant period in the history of this establishment, as it transitioned from a home exclusively for girls to one that welcomed boys as well. This photograph, with its powerful imagery and historical significance, is a testament to the enduring legacy of The National Refuges Home for Boys and Girls and the essential work it continues to inspire in the field of children's welfare.
