Barnardo’s
Changing Childhoods. Changing Lives.
About the Charity
When life gets tough or it feels like there’s nowhere to turn, Barnardo’s is here.
We make sure children and young people feel safer, happier, healthier and more hopeful, by running 760 specialist services across the UK, and campaigning to change the way the system works for the better.
Barnardo’s is the largest national children’s charity in the UK. When Barnardo’s was founded 154 years ago, our vision was of a world where no child in need was turned away. Today we continue to honour that promise. We support 358,800 children, young people, parents and carers, across more than 800 services throughout the UK. To put that into context, that’s enough to fill Wembley stadium almost four times over!
