EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Boys Refuge, one of the earliest establishments of the Shaftesbury Homes, located at Great Queen Street in Lincolns Inn Fields, London. Established in circa 1857, the Shaftesbury Homes were among the first organizations in the United Kingdom to provide care and shelter for vulnerable children and young people. The Boys Refuge was a vital part of the social welfare system that emerged during the Victorian era, offering a safe and nurturing environment for children who were orphaned, abandoned, or otherwise in need. The image shows a group of boys gathered around a table, engaged in an activity, likely under the supervision of a caregiver or teacher. Their attire suggests that they have been provided with clothing and other essentials, indicating the comprehensive nature of the care offered by the Shaftesbury Homes. The Shaftesbury Homes were founded by the philanthropist and social reformer, Anne, Lady Shaftesbury, who was deeply committed to improving the lives of the most vulnerable members of society. The organization grew to include a network of homes and schools for children and young people across the country, providing them with education, training, and the opportunity to build a better future. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the important role that organizations like the Shaftesbury Homes have played in caring for children and young people in need. It also serves as a testament to the enduring power of compassion and the belief that every child deserves a safe and loving home.
