In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the signing of the
Armistice for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front between
the Allies of World War I and Germany, we have a post written by one of
our Archivists, Helena Hilton, that reflects on the lasting effects that
the war was to have on families. This blog looks at how the Waifs and
Strays Society sought to assist the families of former soldiers scarred
by the effects of war.
The Residential Forum is to promote the achievement of high standards of care and support for children and adults living in residential care and nursing homes, supported housing, residential schools and colleges, hospices and hostels. It contributes to improving the quality of service to the public. Members of the Forum are people of standing and experience drawn from the public, private and voluntary sectors, as well as some who can speak for service users and carers.
