Hunger shouldn’t be part of childhood.
Right now, 1 in 3 children in the UK are growing up in poverty, and many are going hungry.
For some, that means starting the school day with an empty stomach.
For others, it means worrying about their next meal instead of feeling safe, happy and healthy.
Hunger changes childhood. It impacts children’s health, confidence, ability to learn, and even future opportunities - with effects that can last a lifetime.
But together, we can change that.
Being able to access food vouchers from Barnardo's meant I could stock up the fridge and have a hot meal. Barnardo's were there straight away to help me when I needed it.
