EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of Barnardos emigrants as they prepare to embark on a new journey to their new homes in Canada, circa 1914. The Barnardos Children's Homes, an esteemed children's charity based in the United Kingdom, began sending children to Canada in 1872 as part of their emigration program. This initiative aimed to provide vulnerable and orphaned children with a fresh start and a chance at a better life. The children in this photograph, dressed in their best clothes and carrying their belongings, are filled with a mix of excitement and apprehension as they set off on their long voyage. The sense of community and camaraderie is palpable as they huddle together, looking towards an uncertain but hopeful future. The Barnardos emigration program was an essential part of the charity's mission to provide care and support to children in need. The organization believed that a new environment and a fresh start could offer children the opportunity to thrive and build a better future for themselves. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the thousands of children who were given a new lease on life through the generous efforts of Barnardos and the promise of a new home in Canada. The Barnardos Children's Homes continue to provide vital care and support to children and young people in need today. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of this remarkable charity and the difference it has made in the lives of countless children over the years.
