Barnardo’s in your classroom
Barnardo’s has a wide range of educational support material and fantastic fundraising ideas for children and young people of all ages.
Primary Education
Why not order our schools Victorian pack today for a more in depth look at Victorian Britain and Dr Barnardo. This comprehensive pack includes original photos and documentary material from Barnardo's photographic archive. Stimulating activities link the past to present through topics such as domestic life, families and childhood, housing, education and religion. The pack provides full coverage of study unit 3a History Key Stage 2.
We also have some fantastic education fundraising material including exciting new fundraising activity envelopes for primary schools that children love doing, linking directly with the National Curriculum.
Secondary and Sixth Form Education
For secondary school teachers and young people we have created Future Citizens website, sponsored by Friends Provident, a flexible and interactive website to help young people explore citizenship issues including rights, social responsibilities, home and family. You can also buy the Future Citizens CD-ROM in our bookshop and use this useful resource in class.
Barnardo's also offers a fantastic opportunity for young people over 16. Our Business Incentive Scheme let’s them run their own business and even gives them start up funds! We also have ideas for how secondary and sixth form students can take action through fundraising. There are also many opportunities for sixth former to gain extra skills and continue supporting us in higher education through our student programme.
If fundraising isn’t their thing, why not find out more about how young people at secondary or sixth form level can get involved for Barnardo's? Through volunteering, students can gain valuable work experience and skills which are useful for UCAS forms and CVs as well the Duke of Edinburgh Award.
