What we do

The Barnardo's Swansea Children Matter office is based in the heart of the Penlan and Penderry community.

The project aims to:

• offer a range of practical methods to encourage and support both parent and child
• help improve the links between home and school
• tailor work around the needs of the child and parents with individual and group work in the community, school and home
• work in partnership with other agencies and can provide valuable links to these services
• work in partnership with local schools to help them become places where all children feel included, involved and valued
• provide intensive therapeutic and practical support in response to the identified needs of the children and their families in this community.

We are always actively recruiting volunteers to help us deliver our services and will provide relevant training for those willing to commit a few hours of their time. All volunteers will be asked to complete an enhanced disclosure form for the Criminal Records Bureau.

For anyone wishing to volunteer with the service please telephone Nicola Ward at the office on 01792 797289, or email Nicola Ward.
