Back to topThese cuttings report on the work of the Committee of Spanish Refugee Children, on specific appeals and fundraising events and activities undertaken to care for and support the children.
In 1937 4,000 children fled the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) and arrived on British shores. This was the largest single influx of child refugees in British history. Marking Refugee Week 2019, we have created an online exhibition showcasing items from our Spanish Collection documenting the children's journey, their experiences and the support they received from the British people, with a unique scrapbook on the 'colony' in Worthing as its centre piece.
