Jessica’s story
Jessica
After her dad died, Jessica’s life fell apart. She moved between care homes and even ended up sleeping rough. Going through such challenges without proper support she could rely on deeply impacted her wellbeing. 1 in 3 young people have experienced mental health and wellbeing issues recently – like stress, worry and loneliness. Will you make a monthly donation to help a child in crisis?
Sophie's story
Sophie
When Sophie moved away from her friends, an older man preyed on her loneliness. He groomed Sophie and then abused her. Sadly, Sophie’s story is not unique. 1 in 7 girls will experience some form of sexual abuse before their 16th birthday. Will you make a monthly donation today to help children like Sophie recover from trauma?
No child should feel like life can’t get better
Together we can make sure that young people get vital help that’s tailored to them - whether that’s through practical support, specialist counselling or creative therapies.
We support children and young people to feel safe, listened to, believed in and that there is always someone to help them through their difficulties - however long that takes.
Because of your support Barnardo’s can continue to support children across the UK through our services, campaigns and research. Thank you.
