EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the National Children's Home (NCH) in Oxted, Surrey, during the year 1915. The image shows a group of young children, some clad in uniforms, gathered around a table in the home's dining room. Their expressions are a mix of curiosity, mischief, and seriousness as they engage in an activity, perhaps a game or a lesson. The adults in the room, dressed in their professional attire, watch over the scene with a sense of care and concern. The National Children's Home was an institution dedicated to the care and welfare of orphaned, abandoned, and neglected children. Founded in 1881, the organization provided a safe and nurturing environment for these children, offering them education, training, and the opportunity to grow into responsible and productive members of society. The home's mission was to provide a sense of family and stability to those who had none, and to offer them the services they needed to thrive. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the children and staff at the National Children's Home during a time of great social change. The early 20th century saw significant advancements in child welfare services, and the home was at the forefront of these efforts. This image serves as a reminder of the important role that institutions like the National Children's Home played in shaping the lives of countless children, and the enduring impact of compassionate care and support.
