Caravan Cost Finding Friendly Hostels Mobile Providing Publicity Purchased Shown Strong Supported Supporter Unit 1922
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Girls Friendly Society's (GFS) Princess Mary Caravan, a mobile publicity unit purchased in 1922 to support the Society's mission of helping young women find work and providing hostels for those in need. The cost of the caravan was generously met by Princess Mary, a dedicated supporter of the GFS. The Girls Friendly Society was an influential organization that aimed to empower young women by providing them with essential resources and opportunities to better their lives. The acquisition of the caravan marked a significant step forward in the Society's efforts to reach a wider audience and spread awareness of its cause. In this image, the caravan is seen parked with a group of GFS workers, who would have been instrumental in using the mobile unit to travel to various communities and engage with potential members. The caravan likely served as a makeshift office and information center, allowing the GFS to connect with young women and offer them guidance and support. The exact date of this photograph is unknown, but it provides a fascinating glimpse into the past and the important role the Girls Friendly Society played in the lives of countless young women during a time when opportunities for employment and independent living were limited. This historical artifact serves as a reminder of the Society's enduring legacy and the impact it had on the lives of generations of women.
