EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of community support and generosity during a Pound Day event at Headingley Orphan Homes in Leeds, circa 1919. The homes, which provided care and shelter for orphaned and destitute children, relied heavily on the kindness and donations of local residents to sustain their vital welfare services. On this particular day, supporters were asked to donate either a pound in cash or a pound weight of household supplies. The children are seen eagerly helping to unload the generous contributions from the community, which included bags of coal, boxes of groceries, and bundles of clothing. The sense of unity and camaraderie is palpable as the children work together, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. The Pound Day campaign was an effective way for the homes to collect essential resources and raise much-needed funds to continue their important work. The event not only provided practical benefits, but also offered a valuable opportunity for the children to engage with their community and feel the warmth and support of those around them. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the power of community spirit and the impact of small acts of kindness on the lives of those in need. The Headingley Orphan Homes and their supporters demonstrated that even in challenging times, the generosity and compassion of local communities could make a significant difference in the lives of vulnerable children.
