Thomas John Barnardo set up a schoool for poor children in the East End in 1867, and opened his first home for boys three years later. By the time he died, in 1905, the charity he had founded ran 96 homes looking after some 8,500 children.
It's now 30 years since Barnardo's stopped running homes for orphans, but the charity's work is still based on values inherent in the work done by its founder.
