EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative map from 1907 depicts the extensive network of the Waifs and Strays Society's homes and care facilities across the United Kingdom. At a time when the welfare of children in need was a pressing social concern, the Waifs and Strays Society played a vital role in providing shelter, education, and care for orphaned, abandoned, and destitute children. The Society's mission was to rescue and rehabilitate these vulnerable children, giving them a chance at a better future. The map reveals the Society's reach, with homes and institutions located in major cities and rural areas alike. From the bustling streets of London to the picturesque countryside, the Society's presence was felt throughout the country. The Waifs and Strays Society was a non-denominational organization, meaning it provided care to children regardless of their religious background. Its homes offered a range of services, including education, vocational training, and emotional support. The Society's approach was based on the belief that every child deserved a loving and stable home, and its dedicated staff worked tirelessly to ensure that each child received the care and attention they needed to thrive. This map is a testament to the Society's commitment to serving the needs of children in need, and it offers a glimpse into the extensive network of care that existed over a century ago. The Waifs and Strays Society's legacy continues to inspire and inform modern-day child welfare services, reminding us of the importance of providing care and support to those who need it most.
