Regular readers of the blog will know that I have become interested in British Home Children * and for those out there who share that interest there is a new chat forum set up by my friend Lori which can be accessed at http://canadianbritishhomechildren.weebly.com/bhc-chat-forum.html#/

*British Home Children is the name given to the thousands of young people who were sent first to Canada, and later Australia as well as other parts of the old British Empire from the 1870s onwards. Most were from poor backgrounds, some living on the streets and others in institutions and the aim was to provide them with a fresh start in life. You can follow my posts by looking for the label British Home Children.
