EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a moment of joy and comfort at the Scholfield Home in Wavertree, Liverpool, during the 1920s. The Scholfield Home, originally established in 1897 in the residence of the compassionate Scholfield sisters, was later taken over by the Waifs and Strays Society in 1906. The image shows a group of children standing at the entrance of the home, each holding a soft toy close to their chests. Their smiles radiate happiness, as they embrace the comfort and security that the Scholfield Home provided. The home offered refuge and care to orphaned, abandoned, and neglected children, providing them with a sense of belonging and a nurturing environment. The Waifs and Strays Society, also known as the Liverpool Catholic Children's Society, was a charitable organization that aimed to provide shelter, education, and training to children in need. The Scholfield Home was just one of the many homes and institutions established by the Society to help alleviate the plight of vulnerable children in Liverpool and its surrounding areas. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the past and the important role that charitable organizations and institutions, like the Scholfield Home, have played in providing care and support to children in need. The soft toys held by the children not only symbolize comfort and security but also serve as a testament to the love and compassion shown by the dedicated staff and volunteers at the Scholfield Home.
