Our projects

As one of the UK's leading children's charities, Barnardo's works directly with over 115,000 children, young people and their families every year. We run 394 vital projects across the UK, including counselling for children who have been abused, fostering and adoption services, vocational training and disability inclusion groups.

Every Barnardo's project is different but each believes in the potential in every child and young person, no matter who they are, what they have done or what they have been through.
