Barnardo's

Barnardo’s are a charity who support children, young people and families who need help. Their mantra has always been, when you change a childhood, you change a life. And that’s still true today. 

When life gets tough or it feels like there’s nowhere to turn, Barnardo’s want to be there to help. They aim to ensure that children and young people feel safer, happier, healthier and more hopeful, by directly supporting them and their families with specialist services, raising awareness and campaigning to change things for the better. 

Barnardo’s offer a huge amount of support on a range of different things including living in poverty.

If you or someone you care about is struggling to afford the essentials, like heating, food or rent, you're not alone. Whether it’s rising food and energy bills or a sudden change in income, financial pressure can affect anyone.

It can be hard to know where to turn, but support is out there.
