	CORAM FAMILY HERITAGE
		Thomas Coram lived in a society that cared little for the plight of unwanted children, who were often left to die on the streets of London.
		When Coram retired after a life spent as a successful ship-builder and sailor, he was horrified by the spectacle of poverty on London's streets.
		The rich and influential were encouraged to come and view the pictures as well as the children, in the hope that they might commission works from one of the exhibiting artists and contribute to the work of the Hospital.

		Thomas Coram was a sea captain and ship builder, and a trader with a great knowledge of the American colonies where he lived for many years.
		On his return to England he was appalled by the sight of children abandoned and left to die on the streets of London because their parents could not afford to feed them.
		In the early 1900s the hospital was demolished due to London's polluted air and the children relocated in the country.

		William Hogarth's pioneering portrait of shipbuilder and philanthropist Thomas Coram is at the heart of a sparkling new museum.
		Thomas Coram was the man responsible for the existence of the Foundling Hospital, the first charitable institution for abandoned children in this country.
		Because Coram had lived in America and seen for himself the huge workforce needed in the New World, he was doubly aware of the wasted human resources represented by the thousand or so children left every year to fend for themselves in the streets of London.

	Gainsborough's House: Gainsborough Biography
		Thomas Gainsborough was born and educated in Sudbury before he moved to London to develop his skills as an artist.
		He was quickly adopted by a circle of painters and draughtsmen who admired the work of William Hogarth and he contributed to a number of important artistic ventures including the decoration of the Court Room at the Foundling Hospital (now the Thomas Coram Foundation for Children) and the supper boxes at Vauxhall Gardens.
		There is some evidence that he was regarded as a specialist landscape painter at this early period and he contributed to the background of at least one portrait by another artist.

		Coram was a shipbuilder and sea captain who, when he retired and returned to London, was appalled to see the way abandoned babies and children were treated.
		Coram was not sufficiently wealthy to raise money by himself for a new building for these children, so he got the great, the good and especially the artistic to help him.
		The children were wet-nursed, fostered out until old enough to come to the school to be educated and, later on, placed in apprenticeships.

		The Foundation's 'Keep Time for Children' initiative is concerned with the time that children need with their parents and the time that parents need for their children.
		The study, conducted in collaboration with Children in Scotland, was comissioned by the Scottish Executive to undertake qualitative research exploring the expectations and experiences of families, 'referrers' (key referrers include Sheriffs, solicitors and social workers) and staff delivering contact centre provision.
		Children described a range of expectations including the following: they thought that using the centre might encourage parent reconciliation, reduce the disruption caused by the contact dispute, or lead to a reduction in overall tensions between family members.

		Alliance campaigns for the UK to satisfy human rights obligations by modernising the law on assault to afford children the same protection as adults.
		It makes me angry that children have had to wait until last for protection from being hit that the rest of us take for granted.
		Removing the defence of 'reasonable punishment' and thus giving children in their homes and in all other settings equal protection under the law on assault is the only just, moral and safe way to clarify the law.

		Coram was horrified at the non-existent or woeful provision for unwanted children, and set about establishing an orphanage, which existed for over 200 years and looked after nearly 30,000 abandoned children; his foundation, now called the Coram Family, is still going.
		On the ground floor is an exhibition on the foundation of the Hospital, and on the life and lives of its children.
		This gallery uses the best of modern museum practice, although the TV screen showing a loop of Coram children is unnecessary, and its accompanying muzak is a definite irritant.

		The Coram foundation was founded in the mid-18th century by a sea captain, Thomas Coram, to look after orphans and foundlings.
		What remains is a small house, slightly shabby but housing a magnificent collection of art donated to the foundation by Coram's influential friends – including Hogarth (whose portrait of Captain Coram is a masterpiece of humanity and humour), Gainsborough, Reynolds and Handel –; some of whose original manuscripts are held here.
		It was a diverse group – the street housing several different nationalities, all bringing their own food to the party, all dancing with each other, their children playing together.

		Captain Coram, horrified at the plight of unwanted children abandoned in the streets of London, established the Foundling Hospital in 1739.
		The charitable Coram Foundation has over the past few years decided that it can no longer afford to look after the collection, since its main aim is the care of children.
		The Foundling Museum was therefore separated from the childcare charity, with the Coram Foundation (recently renamed Coram Family) moving to an adjacent building.
