EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment from the B.R.S.M. (Birmingham Ragged Schools Mission) Tea Party held in a small hall in the year 1918. The image shows a group of children, dressed in simple clothes, seated at trestle tables, their mugs filled from watering cans by attending adults. The hand-written caption on the print adds to the historical context, stating 'B.R.S.M. - Part of the Ragged Schools Mission.' The banner hanging in the background bears the poignant words 'Who Cares They Are Sinking All Around.' The Ragged Schools Movement was an educational initiative aimed at providing basic education to children who were often neglected or unable to attend formal schools due to poverty or other social issues. The tea parties were a regular feature of the mission, providing a warm meal and a moment of respite for these children. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by children living in poverty during this time period. The image is a poignant reminder of the importance of education and the role that community organizations can play in supporting those in need.
