EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Dr. Thomas Burchell Stephenson, the visionary founder of the National Children's Home, in circa 1905. Dr. Stephenson's groundbreaking work began in 1869 when he transformed a disused stable in Lambeth into a sanctuary for destitute and neglected children. With a deep commitment to providing care and support, he established the National Children's Home, an organization that would go on to become a beacon of hope for countless numbers of vulnerable children throughout the United Kingdom. The image reveals Dr. Stephenson, a man of great compassion and determination, dressed in formal attire, with a kind expression and a steady gaze. The backdrop of the photograph is simple, yet evocative, with a bookshelf filled with volumes and a fireplace, suggesting a place of learning and warmth. Over the years, the National Children's Home grew and evolved, adapting to the changing needs of the children it served. In 1994, the organization was renamed Action for Children, reflecting its expanded mission to support and protect children and young people in need. Dr. Stephenson's legacy lives on, as Action for Children continues to provide vital services and advocacy for children and families across the UK. This photograph is a testament to the power of one person's vision and determination to make a difference in the lives of countless children. Dr. Thomas Burchell Stephenson's story is a reminder of the importance of compassion, care, and commitment to the well-being of children, a legacy that continues to inspire us today.
