## Resource

Thousands of children, one empire, and a promise that was a lie. For decades, “British Home Children” were shipped overseas from the UK to Canada, Australia and beyond, sold the dream of fresh starts and loving homes, but too often met with hard labour, neglect, and abuse instead. Their childhoods were packed into suitcases and stamped with a destination, turning poverty and vulnerability into a one‑way ticket out of sight, and for many, out of their own families’ reach forever.
