EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1930s, a young girl is seen lovingly feeding chickens on the farm at the National Children's Home in Alverstoke, Hampshire. The National Children's Home was a charity providing care and support for orphaned and vulnerable children, offering them a safe and nurturing environment to grow and thrive. The image captures a moment of simple joy and connection between the girl and the chickens, as she gently scatters feed into the pen, eliciting excited clucks and pecks from the birds. The scene is idyllic, with the sun casting a warm glow over the farmyard and the verdant fields stretching out in the background. At the National Children's Home, children were given the opportunity to experience the joys of rural life, learning valuable skills and building a sense of self-sufficiency. The farm was an integral part of the Home, providing not only fresh produce but also a sense of purpose and responsibility for the children. This photograph offers a poignant reminder of the important role that care homes and charities played in providing essential services for vulnerable children during the 1930s. It also highlights the therapeutic benefits of animal interaction and the simple pleasures of rural life, which continue to be cherished today.
