1966 Drill Exercise Merged Norwood Reformatory Rescue Staff Toddlers
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment of instruction and learning at the Cleevedon Toddlers Home, South Norwood, circa 1905. Run by the Reformatory and Rescue Union, an early children's welfare organization that later became the Children's Aid Society and eventually merged with Barnardos in 1966, the home provided care and support for young children in need. In this image, staff members are seen leading a group of young children through an exercise drill, encouraging them to move and engage in physical activity. The children, dressed in simple clothing, appear focused and engaged, following the instructions of their teachers with curiosity and determination. The scene exudes a sense of community and camaraderie, as the children work together to complete the drill. The Reformatory and Rescue Union was established in 1866 to provide rescue and rehabilitation services for children who were orphaned, abandoned, or in need of care. The organization's mission was to provide a safe and nurturing environment for these children, with a focus on education, physical activity, and moral development. The Cleevedon Toddlers Home was just one of many institutions run by the Union, which aimed to help children build a strong foundation for a better future. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the important work of the Reformatory and Rescue Union and the impact it had on the lives of countless children. The image also serves as a reminder of the enduring importance of community support and the role it plays in shaping the lives of young people.
