Barnardo's Bristol

Barnardo's is based in the heart of Bristol and helps local communities deal with the most serious issues. Since Barnardo's first opened its doors over a century ago, our dedicated expert staff have worked with children suffering poverty, physical, sexual and emotional abuse, exploitation and discrimination in Bristol.

With your help we can reach more of these vulnerable children, young people and their families get the opportunity to really turn their lives around and not suffer in silence.

There’s many ways you can help support us!

“The City of Bristol has the highest rate of child poverty in the South West and 19,710 children in Bristol are income deprived. There’s clearly a growing demand for our services – but this comes at a time when we are finding it harder than ever to find the necessary funding to help others.” Duncan Stanway, assistant director of children’s services
