EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene atmosphere of St. Andrew's Home for Crippled Children on Hayling Island, Hampshire, during the 1920s. Established in 1917, the home provided care and support for children with physical disabilities, offering them a nurturing environment to thrive and grow. The image showcases the picturesque grounds of the home, with its well-tended gardens and beautiful views of the Solent. The children in the photograph, dressed in their Sunday best, are gathered around the home's veranda, enjoying the sunshine and the company of each other. Their smiles and laughter reveal the joy and happiness they find in their daily lives, despite the challenges they face. The caring and dedicated staff of St. Andrew's Home are seen in the background, watching over the children with love and compassion. The home's founders, the Reverend and Mrs. W.H.D. Rouse, were committed to providing a loving and caring environment for children with disabilities, who were often overlooked and neglected in society at the time. The home's mission was to help these children reach their full potential, both physically and emotionally, and to give them the opportunity to live fulfilling lives. St. Andrew's Home for Crippled Children on Hayling Island was a beacon of hope and compassion during the 1920s, and this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the important work that was done there. The children's smiles and the peaceful surroundings speak to the enduring power of love, care, and community, and the legacy of St. Andrew's Home continues to inspire and uplift us today.
