When life gets tough or it feels like there’s nowhere to turn, Barnardo’s is here.
We’re here to make children and young people:
-Safer, so children at risk of harm are better protected.
-Happier, so children struggling with their wellbeing can access support and feel they belong.
-Healthier, so children growing up with disadvantage can experience good physical and mental health.
-More hopeful, so children experiencing challenges can move into adulthood with hope and confidence.
We try and do this by:
-Running excellent, inclusive services that improve the lives of children and young people.
-Improving practice, policy–making and systems so that they really work for all children and young people.
-Driving change in attitudes towards childhood, working closely with partners and supporters.
Our amazing team of vibrant & diverse volunteers helps us run over 500 stores. Our stores sell lots of great donated & new goods to help raise vital funds to make a real difference to disadvantaged children.
We look to recruit a diverse range of volunteers. If your skills don’t fit the above, please do not let this put you off as we are able to be flexible with most of our roles.
