Former orphanage, Strawberry Field, reopens to inspire new generations
John Lennon's sister invited us for a personal tour at the reopening of Strawberry Field in Liverpool, England!
Did you know John Lennon’s father and aunt were raised in an orphanage and he and his sisters were raised in relative care? We’ve worked closely with John’s sister, Julia Baird, to raise awareness and hope for children in similar situations.
Forever Family is honored to have played a part in helping bring awareness of this amazing project and incredible person. Thank you, Julia Baird, for your time and friendship.
We look forward to sharing additional behind-the-scenes stories soon.
Spiritual Exploration: Strawberry Field will be a place of community where all are welcome through the red gates. Whether you live down the road like John Lennon once did or you are from the other side of the world, Strawberry Field invites you into a space of hope, wonder and new connections.
Strawberry Field first planted its roots as a Salvation Army home for vulnerable young children from the Liverpool area. Today, they continue to grow and nurture that legacy into new branches of opportunity, community and spirituality whether this comes via the training hub for young people with learning disabilities, the visitor centre or as a haven of spiritual exploration. Strawberry Field will become a hive of new ways to explore and engage.
The Salvation Army, as a Christian church, puts faith into action. They want to make a difference and help people’s lives to change for the better, believing that even the smallest acts can have the biggest impact.
At Strawberry Field, you can walk through the gardens finding solace and contemplation, partake in a taster session of stillness, or take inspiration from the ground’s history and find a creative way to express your own story. Strawberry Field opens their arms for you to have a space to grow, develop and transform.
