Barnardos Fronts Homes Issued Promotional Reverse Youth Before And After Childrens
EDITORS COMMENTS
Reverseside of a Series of Promotional Before-and-After Cards Issued by Barnardo's (circa 1880s) On the reverse side of these before-and-after promotional cards, Barnardo's, a leading children's charity in the UK, provides insight into the transformative impact of their work on vulnerable children. The organization, founded by Thomas Barnardo in 1867, aimed to help children living in poverty, neglect, and destitution. The text on the reverse side reads, "Before and After. The children in these pictures have all been rescued from the streets and placed in Barnardo's Homes. Their condition on admission is shown in the first picture, and the change wrought in them by kind care and training is shown in the second." These cards were likely used to raise awareness and funds for Barnardo's cause. By sharing the dramatic improvements in children's lives, the organization could appeal to potential donors and supporters. The cards demonstrate the importance of early intervention and the positive effects of providing children with a safe and nurturing environment. The children's homes, also known as "Barnardo's Homes," offered shelter, education, and training to thousands of children in need. The homes provided a sense of stability and security, allowing children to grow and develop in a healthy and supportive environment. Barnardo's pioneering work in children's welfare paved the way for modern social housing and care systems. The organization's commitment to improving the lives of children has continued for over 150 years, making it an essential part of the history of children's social services in the UK. These cards offer a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the importance of supporting children in need and the transformative power of care and compassion.
