The Hollies Children’s Home Reunion Group was formed by Paul and Barbara Krawczynski in 2002 upon finding nothing on the Internet about the home.

We felt there must be others out there looking to see how their old friends from childhood were getting on so this is where it all started.

Many people have found old friends and made new ones too at the reunions, plus some finding family members previously unknown and unaware they existed,  why not see if we can help you.
