Benevolence Charitable Charity Conditions Healthy Orchard Organisation Overseas Picking Poverty Salvation Workhouse Workhouses
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of camaraderie and determination among six young men at the Salvation Army Training Centre in the 1930s. Dressed in simple work clothes and donning broad-brimmed hats, they are seen picking apples in a lush orchard, a scene that speaks to the charitable and benevolent work of the organization during a time of great economic hardship. The Salvation Army, an international Christian movement founded in the late 19th century, has a long history of providing shelter, food, and training to those in need. In this image, the young men are likely preparing for overseas duties with the organization, their smiles and happy demeanor a testament to the positive impact of the centre's programs. The image transports us back to the 1930s, a decade marked by poverty and economic instability. Workhouses, once a common solution to unemployment and poverty, had fallen out of favor due to their harsh conditions. The Salvation Army, however, offered an alternative approach, one that focused on rehabilitation and skills training. The orchard setting adds a layer of historical significance to the photograph. Orchards were a common source of income for many families during this time, and the ability to work in one was a valuable skill. The young men in the photograph are not only learning valuable work skills but also contributing to the organization's charitable efforts by harvesting fruit for distribution to those in need. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the important role the Salvation Army played in providing support and opportunities to young men during a time of great need. It also highlights the organization's commitment to promoting healthy and positive living conditions, a commitment that continues to this day.
