Barnardo’s Student Campaigning

Barnardo's student campaigners

There are loads of ways students can get involved in Barnardo's campaigns, including:

  • taking part in our current campaigns
  • becoming a campaigner on campus; run an event, film night or public stunt, spread the word on campus, ask us for a speaker, write about us in your Uni newspaper
  • volunteering as a Policy, Parliamentary and Campaigns intern
  • learning more about the issue through our research into our campaigning areas.

Or sign up to be a Barnardo's campaigner and stay up to date with all our current campaigns.
