We believe children, young people and families should feel safe, happy, healthy and hopeful – whatever their background or circumstance, or wherever they are in the UK.
When life gets tough or it feels like there’s nowhere to turn, Barnardo’s is here.
We’re here to make children and young people:
- Safer, so children at risk of harm are better protected.
- Happier, so children struggling with their wellbeing can access support and feel they belong.
- Healthier, so children growing up with disadvantage can experience good physical and mental health.
- More hopeful, so children experiencing challenges can move into adulthood with hope and confidence.
We try and do this by:
- Running excellent, inclusive services that improve the lives of children and young people. -Improving practice, policy–making and systems so that they really work for all children and young people.
- Driving change in attitudes towards childhood, working closely with partners and supporters.
In 2023-24 we:
- Reached 356,200 children, young people, parents and carers through our services and partnerships.
- Ran 760 services across the UK.
- Were supported by 17,300 volunteers who gave an amazing 1.8m hours of their time to help us support even more children, young people and their families.
