Spurgeons is a charitable organisation charity based in England with international projects in Africa and Eastern Europe.
[edit] History
Spurgeons was founded in 1867 by Charles Haddon Spurgeon, to care for fatherless boys (the first girls were accepted in 1879). The original orphanage, in Stockwell, was the base for most of the charity's first century, until a move to Reigate and then Birchington, in Kent.
The orphanage was closed in 1979. Since then the charity's work has grown and developed across the UK and around the world.
