Summary
The Lady Dugan Children's Home was established by the Social Welfare Department in 1970. The Department leased a home from the Red Cross, initially for three years, to ease overcrowding at Allambie. Most of the children at Lady Dugan were aged between two and five years. Their school age siblings were also placed at the Home. Lady Dugan Children's Home ceased to operate in April 1976, and its residents were transferred into family group homes and other placements.
