How we help children in trouble

Barnardo’s runs many projects that help break the cycle of crime for children who engage in damaging behaviour.

Our work with abuse victims

We run several projects that offer support to those who have been victims of abuse, and help them gain control of their futures.

Our work in substance misuse

We provide advice, education and practical support, so young people can turn their backs on drugs and alcohol for good.
