EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a heartwarming moment at Barnardos Home in Teighmore, Jersey, circa 1905. The Matron, dressed in a traditional long skirt and blouse, tenderly interacts with a group of young boys, all clad in crisp shirts and trousers. The home, which was established to provide shelter and care for orphaned, abandoned, and neglected children, served as a sanctuary for these boys during a time when social services were limited. The scene exudes a sense of warmth, compassion, and community. The boys, who appear to be deeply engaged in their conversation with the Matron, seem at ease and content in her presence. The natural light streaming through the window adds to the serene and nurturing atmosphere of the home. Barnardos, an organization that has been dedicated to transforming the lives of the most vulnerable children for over 150 years, has its roots in this very home in Jersey. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the critical role that such institutions played in providing care and support to children in need during the early 20th century. The photograph also highlights the enduring importance of compassionate caregivers like the Matron, who dedicated their lives to making a difference in the lives of children, one boy at a time.
