Eglantyne Jebb

Save the Children's familiar name leads back to Jebb and her sister Dorothy Buxton, who established the fund in 1919 amid the suffering that followed the First World War. Their campaigning needed an organisation able to raise money and turn concern into continuing relief. Jebb is a rewarding starting point for the relationship between protest and institution-building. Keep the joint foundation in view, alongside the later workers and national organisations that made the charity much larger than its original public meeting.
