People’s Postcode Lottery - Postcode Children Trust

Thanks to players of People’s Postcode Lottery: changing childhoods, changing lives 

Players of People's Postcode Lottery support our work through Postcode Children Trust.  

Since 2018, players of People’s Postcode Lottery have raised over £17m. This generous support helps us deliver essential services for children and young people across the UK, ensuring they can lead safe, happy, healthy, and hopeful lives. With an annual award of £3m, we can focus on where the need is greatest, thanks to the unrestricted nature of this funding. 

Unrestricted funding gives us the flexibility to invest in vital projects, like the SEEN initiative. SEEN is dedicated to creating systemic change by challenging the structural inequalities that limit opportunities for children and young people of African, Asian, and Caribbean heritage. SEEN works towards building a fair and equitable future, ensuring these children have the care and opportunities they need to thrive. 

One of the many impactful SEEN projects is Barnardo’s Untold Stories: 10,000 Voices. This writing project celebrates the heritage of young British people of African, Asian, and Caribbean backgrounds by encouraging intergenerational discussions about identity. The project will produce an anthology of 70 original writings, which will be shared with secondary schools nationwide, along with lesson plans and teaching resources. The stories will also be celebrated at an event held at Christ’s Hospital School. 

This project creates space for dynamic, respectful conversations around identity and heritage, fostering intergenerational relationships within families. It empowers young people to explore their heritage from a perspective of empowerment and celebration.  

Together, Barnardo’s with support from players of People’s Postcode Lottery are changing childhoods and changing lives, making a lasting difference to the futures of children and young people. 

On behalf of the children, young people and families we support here at Barnardo’s, we send our heartfelt thanks to players of People’s Postcode Lottery. Thank you for being alongside us in changing childhoods and changing lives so that children and young people can be safer, happier, healthier and more hopeful.
