EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of arrival for a group of young girls at Barnardos Hazelbrae Home for Girls in Peterborough, Ontario, circa 1907. Established in 1883, this home was a vital part of the Barnardos network of children's homes in the United Kingdom and was specifically designed to receive girls who were emigrating from their UK counterparts. The home was later renamed the Margaret Cox Home in honor of its long-serving matron. The girls in the photograph, dressed in their best clothes and carrying their belongings, are filled with a mix of excitement and apprehension as they embark on a new life in a foreign land. The warm and welcoming expression of the matron, standing at the door, speaks volumes about the care and compassion that was provided at the home. Barnardos Hazelbrae Home offered a safe and nurturing environment for girls who had often faced difficult circumstances in their young lives. The home provided education, training, and emotional support, enabling the girls to build a better future for themselves. The girls were given the opportunity to learn new skills, make new friends, and develop a sense of independence and self-confidence. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the important role that children's homes and welfare services have played in providing care and support for vulnerable children throughout history. It also highlights the enduring legacy of Barnardos, which continues to provide vital services to children and young people in need, both in the UK and around the world.
