Accomodation Barnardos Epsom Homes Welfare Childrens

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of Barnardo's Mittendorff House in Epsom, a children's home that provided care and welfare to hundreds of vulnerable children between its opening in 1911 and its closure in 1982. Located on East Street, the imposing red-brick building with its tall chimneys and grand entranceway served as a sanctuary for those in need, offering them a safe and nurturing environment. Barnardo's, founded by Thomas Barnardo in 1867, was a leading children's charity dedicated to improving the lives of the most destitute and neglected children in the UK. Mittendorff House was just one of over 260 homes and schools that Barnardo's operated at its peak, providing essential social accommodation, education, and emotional support to thousands of children. The photograph shows a group of children standing outside the house, dressed in their best clothes, looking happy and content. The boys wear collared shirts and trousers, while the girls wear dresses and aprons. Their faces are filled with excitement and anticipation, perhaps for an outing or a special occasion. The scene is a testament to the transformative power of Barnardo's work, which gave these children a sense of belonging and hope for a better future. The Mittendorff House in Epsom was just one of many Barnardo's homes that played a crucial role in shaping the lives of countless children. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the important work that Barnardo's continues to do today, providing vital care, support, and opportunities to children and young people in need.
