In this episode of the Join Justin Podcast, we have a very special co host, Gia Tutalo Mote of Forever Family we speak with Julia Baird sister of the legendary Beatle John Lennon. Learn about the great work Julia and Strawberry Field is doing to train young people with learning difficulties. We also discuss how being a child in foster care affected John Lennon and how it is still affecting children today.
Strawberry Field and the original Victorian house were gifted to The Salvation Army in 1934. In 1936 it was opened as a children’s home for girls, later accepting boys. From then on, for nearly 70 years, it gave some of Liverpool’s most vulnerable children a refuge from turmoil and unhappiness – a safe, calm and spiritual home.
Remaining true to the tradition of giving young people every best chance to succeed in life, Strawberry Field is perpetuating this legacy of care and support through a new training hub for young people with learning difficulties and other barriers to employment. With a visitor exhibition exploring the site’s history and links to John Lennon, a café as well as gardens for spiritual reflection, the Strawberry Field site weaves together educational, cultural, heritage and spiritual elements in one site to continue inspiring future generations to come.
Forever Family is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to helping children and teens in foster care find permanent, loving homes. Together with its sponsors and media partners, the organization focuses on raising awareness throughout communities about the struggles and misconceptions surrounding kids and teens in foster care, while connecting families with their local foster care agencies.
