Barnardo's Indigo Project

Barnardo’s Indigo project offers a range of services to enhance the quality of life for children and young people with disabilities, within the London borough of Redbridge.

The project works towards providing an empowering environment through creative play, drama, art and music as a means of enhancing a positive self-image for disabled children and young people. We aim to provide a positive placement experience for each young person and to work in partnership with families and carers.

Barnardo's Indigo project works with children and young people from varied ethnic and cultural backgrounds. We actively engage in the challenge proposed within Barnardo’s London, East and South East (LEaSE) region's anti-oppression strategy, which aims to combat all oppression inflicted upon people due to disability, race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.

The project promotes valued roles and equality in the community. As a continually evolving project, we assist our users to express their views on the service, and openly encourage independence and freedom of choice as a basic human right.
