EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in the history of Barnardos, the renowned children's charity, as a group of its young charges prepare to embark on a new life in Canada in 1906. The children, dressed in their best clothes and looking both excited and apprehensive, are gathered on the deck of a ship that will carry them across the Atlantic. Founded in 1867 by Dr. Thomas Barnardo, Barnardos began as a home for destitute children in London's East End, providing shelter, education, and training to those in need. Over the years, the organization expanded to include homes and farms in the UK and overseas, including this group of children bound for Canada. With the support of donors and volunteers, Barnardos provided a safe and nurturing environment for thousands of children, giving them the opportunity to build a better future. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the vital role that Barnardos and similar organizations have played in the lives of countless children, offering them care, support, and a chance at a brighter future.
