What we believe
Barnardo’s believes in children regardless of their circumstances, gender, race, disability or behaviour.
We believe in the abused, the vulnerable, the forgotten and the neglected. We will support them, stand up for them and bring out the best in each and every child.
We do this because we believe that every child deserves the best start in life and the chance to fulfil their potential.
We use the knowledge gained from our direct work with children to campaign for better childcare policy and to champion the rights of every child.
With the right help, committed support and a little belief, even the most vulnerable
children can turn their lives around. Barnardo’s is regulated by the Charity Commission.
Being a registered charity means that we must always be accountable and transparent.
