 Dr Barnado set up his first orphanage for homeless children in the UK during Victorian times. His homes now operate in many countries.
But what I did not know until seeing it on Songs of Praise is that the Doctor was also a marketing genius.
Here's the story:
In England during the reign of Queen Victoria, there was a very large number of displaced and orphaned children. Multiple thousands of them in London alone. More throughout the country. Their parents had either died or they could no longer afford to keep them. In the late 1800s, life was tough.
