Barnardo’s Childhood Champions programme is for our donors who can make an annual commitment to support children, young people, and families through our vital frontline services.This is an ideal programme to take part in if you're beginning your philanthropy journey with Barnardo's - as a Childhood Champion, you'll have the opportunity to see the positive impact your commitment to the programme is making to children, young people and their families who need us the most.
Tier 1 – The Giving Circle
To be a part of this tier we ask for a minimum annual gift of £5,000 (that can be paid via monthly direct debit). Multi-year support at this level really helps us to strategically plan for the future. All members of this tier will receive regular updates on Barnardo’s strategy and how this is implemented at both a national and local level.
A gift of this size would:
- provide mattresses for over 60 children so that they can sleep safely and comfortably at night
- help a child to process their experiences by accessing trauma-informed 1:1 intervention services
- help part-fund a family support practitioner who works directly with close relations of sexually exploited children, helping them manage their loved one's traumatic experiences
- pay for essential furniture for 20 young people leaving the care system who are moving into their first independent homes
Tier 2 – Next Generation Giving Club
Tier 2 is aimed at future philanthropists who are looking to embark on their philanthropic journey, and we hope you'll do this with Barnardo's. We ask for an annual donation of £1,000 (that can also be paid via monthly direct debits). Member benefits of both tiers include communications tailored to members interests, invitations to special events, volunteering and networking opportunities and the chance to visit our inspiring Children Services. Typically, donations received will be unrestricted, with funds channelled to wherever the need is greatest for children, young people, and their families in the UK.
A gift of this size would:
- provide the opportunity for 40 young carers to have a residential break from their caring role
- provide an 8-week emotional wellbeing training course for care leavers
- provide 6 months of face to face counselling for one of our young people struggling to cope
- provide warm coats and shoes for a whole class of 30 children
