EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the original premises of the Waifs and Strays Society St Giles Home in Wrexham, Wales, in 1906. Established in 1883, the Waifs and Strays Society was a leading children's charity dedicated to providing care and support for orphaned, abandoned, and neglected children. The St Giles Home in Wrexham was one of the many homes and institutions run by the Society across the UK. In this image, we see a group of children gathered outside the home, dressed in their best clothes and looking curiously at the camera. Their expressions are a mix of excitement, apprehension, and wonder, reflecting the complex emotions that come with being a child in care. The building behind them, with its tall chimneys and imposing facade, looms over them, a symbol of the safety and security they have found within its walls. Despite the challenges and hardships that these children have faced, they are surrounded by a sense of community and belonging. The Waifs and Strays Society provided essential services that went beyond just providing shelter and food. They offered emotional support, education, and training, helping to give these children a brighter future. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the important role that charities like the Waifs and Strays Society played in the lives of vulnerable children over a century ago. It also serves as a testament to the enduring power of community and the difference that caring for one another can make.
