About Barnardo's Scotland

Barnardo’s Scotland has been working in Scotland for more than a century. Our purpose is to reach out to the most disadvantaged children, young people, families and communities to help ensure that every child has the best possible start in life. We aim to make sure that every young person is able to reach their full potential, whatever their life circumstances.
Our vision is that the lives of all children and young people should be free from poverty, abuse and discrimination. We believe in the abused, the vulnerable, the forgotten and the neglected. We will suppport them, stand up for them and bring out the best in each and every child. As one of the leading children's charities this is our pledge.
Today we run more than 60 community-based projects across Scotland including:
- leaving care projects
- family activity projects
- disability projects
