After Esher Homes Louise Protection Renamed Shaftesbury Visited Youth 1935 Childrens Merger
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Princess Louise, the Princess Royal and Duchess of Fife, pays a visit to the Esher Place (Princess Louise Home for Girls) in circa 1935. The home, which was previously known as Shaftesbury Homes Esher Place, underwent a significant transformation in 1935 following a merger with the National Society for the Protection of Young Girls. The National Society, an organization dedicated to the care and protection of vulnerable children, had been providing shelter and support to girls in need since its inception in 1884. The merger with Shaftesbury Homes, a leading provider of youth housing and social care, allowed for the expansion and improvement of services offered to the girls in their care. During her visit, Princess Louise is seen engaging with the children, her warm smile and attentive demeanor reflecting her genuine concern for their wellbeing. The girls, dressed in their best clothes, eagerly gather around her, their faces filled with excitement and curiosity. The photograph captures a moment of connection and compassion, highlighting the importance of care and support in the lives of young people. Esher Place (Princess Louise Home for Girls) continued to provide essential services to vulnerable children for many years, playing a crucial role in their social, emotional, and educational development. The merger with the National Society marked a significant milestone in the history of children's care and youth housing, paving the way for innovative approaches and improved services that continue to shape the sector today. This photograph, with its poignant depiction of a royal visit and the transformative power of care and support, serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of providing a safe and nurturing environment for children in need.
