Excursions to England
"Let it not be imagined for a moment that we undertake the task with any pleasure or good will"
Periodically the Barnardo Home's would make arrangements to take children (as adults) back to England for a visit. These are some reports of these trips noted in the Ups and Downs Magazine. The Barnardo Homes discouraged children from making these trips back home, citing them as too costly, that Barnardo's could not obtain any reduction or rebate on their passage for these trips, and that any boy taking part would regret it and was doing so for foolish and selfish reasons.
These are from the Ups and Downs 1895 to 1903.
