About Barnardo's

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.
