As one of the UK’s leading children’s charities, Barnardo’s believes in children regardless of their circumstances, gender, race, disability or behaviour. We believe in the abused, the vulnerable, the forgotten and the neglected. We will support them, stand up for them and bring out the best in each and every child. We do this because we believe in children.

Barnardo’s works directly with over 100,000 children, young people and their families every year. We run vital projects across the UK, including counselling for children who have been abused, fostering and adoption services, vocational training and disability inclusion groups.

Barnardo’s vision and purpose

  • Barnardo’s vision is that the lives of all children and young people should be free from poverty, abuse and discrimination.
  • Barnardo’s purpose is to help the most vulnerable children and young people transform their lives and fulfil their potential.
