DEMAND LIVERPOOL APPROVE A MEMORIAL TO THE LITTLE CHILDREN IMy Great Uncle George was one of the countless children ripped from his home and sent to a distant land under the Home Children scheme. Like many others, his childhood was lost in transit, and his voice was forgotten by history. Thousands of vulnerable children, including George, were shipped from the British Isles to Canada, Australia, and other parts of the Commonwealth between 1869 and the late 1940s. They were promised better lives but often faced brutal conditions, exploitation, and isolation.

Despite their significant contribution to the development of these nations, these children's experiences have largely remained unrecognised. Liverpool, a prominent departure point for these children, holds a profound yet silent role in this chapter of history. It is time to acknowledge this past with dignity and hope for justice. By erecting a memorial in Liverpool, we honour their memories, bring awareness to their stories, and educate future generations about the consequences of such policies.

Liverpool has the chance to shine a light on the resilience of these children, giving them the recognition they never received in their lifetimes. This memorial will serve as a solemn tribute to their struggles and achievements and stand as a physical reminder of our history.

We urge the Liverpool City Council to approve a memorial dedicated to the Home Children. Together, let us honour these souls who endured so much and help heal the scars left on countless families. Please sign this petition to support the creation of this important monument and ensure that their stories are not lost to time. DO NOT DONATE MONEY HERE-SIGN ONLY THANKS
