We protect, support and nurture the UK's most vulnerable children

What we do
-
Fostering with Barnardo's
The number of children needing foster care has risen by 44% while the number of people looking to foster has fallen by nearly half. Without more foster carers coming forward, hundreds of children referred to our services won’t be placed with a loving family.
-
Protecting children
We support children who have been abused and help them feel safe again. We provide the long-term support they need and help prevent further cases of abuse.
-
Supporting young people
We offer practical and emotional support to young people so they can enter adulthood with the confidence they need to achieve their full potential.
