Black and minority ethnic communities
Modern day Barnardo’s runs a diverse range of projects and significant amount of those projects are ones that work with Black and Minority Ethnic Communities. We are keen to develop positive partnerships and relationships within these communities.
In some regions, such as London, East Anglia and the South East, over 40 per cent of those people using our projects are from Black and Minority Ethnic Communities and around the country there are several projects working in areas which are populated by large numbers of people from diverse backgrounds.
