Without Barnardo's I wouldn't be here.
I wouldn't be alive. They have helped me so much. They asked if I wanted help with housing. I said yes and it's the best thing I have ever done.

For the last two years, child poverty has risen by 100,000 children each year.

Barnardo's runs 394 vital projects across the UK, including counselling for children who have been abused, fostering and adoption services, vocational training and disability inclusion groups. Around one third of our work at Barnardo’s focuses on the alleviation of poverty and it is an inescapable element of nearly all our services. For every £1 donated to Barnardo’s, 94p goes directly to our work with children and families.
