1873 Dinner Guests Liverpool Meal Onwards Orphan Orphanage Orphans Poor Provided Robins Thousand Welfare Childrens December


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of generosity and care that defined the Liverpool Robins Christmas Dinner, a cherished tradition that brought joy to thousands of underprivileged children in Liverpool from 1873 to the early 20th century. In this image, taken around 1910, we see some of the dinner guests, their faces filled with curiosity and excitement as they gather around a long table adorned with festive decorations. The children, dressed in their best clothes, are likely from local orphanages and charities, and were treated to a special Christmas meal each December as part of the Robins' efforts to provide for the city's most vulnerable population. The Liverpool Robins, a group of local businessmen and philanthropists, began the tradition over a century ago with the aim of bringing a little holiday cheer to the children who might otherwise go without. Over the years, the organization grew in size and scope, with up to five thousand children attending the annual dinner. This historical photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of community and care during the holiday season, and the lasting impact that small acts of kindness can have on the lives of children in need. The Liverpool Robins Christmas Dinner is an important chapter in the city's history, and serves as a testament to the power of coming together to make a difference in the lives of others. This image invites us to reflect on the importance of social welfare, education, and the role that individuals and organizations can play in creating a more compassionate and equitable society.
