EDITORS COMMENTS
A Heartfelt Appeal: Waifs and Strays Society, May 1937 This poignant advertisement from the Waifs and Strays Society, dated May 1937, calls upon the public to open their hearts and wallets to support the cause of orphaned and destitute children. The image captures the tender moment between a young toddler and an older child, their hands clasped together, as they gaze into each other's eyes. The caption above reads, "Can you help us to bring them together?" The Waifs and Strays Society was a UK-based charity founded in 1882 to provide care and support for orphaned, abandoned, and neglected children. In the 1930s, during a time of economic hardship and social upheaval, the need for their services was greater than ever. The advertisement's simple yet powerful message resonated with the public, who were moved to donate what they could to help the organization continue its vital work. The Society's fundraising efforts were essential in providing a safe and nurturing environment for thousands of children who had been left vulnerable by the circumstances of their birth or the loss of their parents. The Waifs and Strays Society's mission was to reunite siblings, provide education and training, and ultimately find loving homes for children in need. This advertisement serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of community support and the power of compassion during times of hardship. As we look at this image, we are reminded of the enduring human spirit and the capacity for kindness and generosity, even in the most challenging of times.
