EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by John Varley, we see the Employment Secretary, Norman Fowler, fearlessly perched on a rocking horse. However, this is no ordinary toy; it was handcrafted with love and dedication by jobless trainees in Wakefield, Yorkshire during the 1980s. The purpose of this unique creation was to raise funds for a new hospice through a sponsored rock-in event. As an advocate for employment opportunities and support for those facing unemployment, Fowler's involvement in such an initiative showcases his commitment to making a positive difference in people's lives beyond his political duties. The image not only captures the essence of compassion but also highlights the power of community collaboration. The juxtaposition of Fowler on the rocking horse symbolizes hope and resilience amidst challenging times. It serves as a reminder that even individuals holding influential positions can actively contribute to charitable causes and inspire others to do so as well. This photograph transports us back to January 27th, 1989 when Wakefield became a platform for change. It reminds us that politics should extend beyond mere policies and regulations; it should embrace empathy and social responsibility. Through Varley's lens, we witness how one man's actions can unite communities and ignite generosity towards building essential facilities like hospices. As we reflect upon this snapshot from history, let us remember Norman Fowler not only as an Employment Secretary but also as someone who rode alongside ordinary citizens towards creating brighter futures for all.
