For over 150 years, Barnardo’s been here for children and young people who need them most – bringing love, care and hope into their lives and giving them a place where they feel they belong. They are here because too many children and young people across the UK are missing out on a good childhood, and on the opportunity to thrive when they become adults.
They continue to be there for as long as they are needed – working with children and young people to be safe, happy, healthy and hopeful.
They will never, ever give up on the things that matter to them – and they will do everything they can to give children a place where they feel like they belong.
Children and young people tell them they’re ambitious for their futures.
Barnardo’s believe in them so they can believe in themselves. That’s why, right now, they are focused on changing childhoods and changing lives.
A huge amount of change is needed, but as a charity they know they can’t do everything and need to focus efforts and energies where they can make the biggest difference for children.
Until 2027 Barnardo’s focus will be on driving change for…
- children and young people struggling with their mental health and wellbeing
- children and young people at greater risk of poor health
- children, young people and families living in poverty
- families needing support to give their children the best possible life chances
- children in care and care leavers
- children and young people at risk of sexual abuse and exploitation
- children and families seeking sanctuary in the UK
With Christmas only round the corner, a time where families come together and children are the focal point of so many families, we want help those children who are not as fortunate as some, by donating 10p from every ticket sold from our November and December prize draws to Barnardo’s, as every penny helps to make a difference.
PLAY AND GIVE BACK
Over 60,000 children in the UK have been diagnosed with a critical condition, changing their lives and the lives of their families forever. For them, the joy of childhood is brought to an abrupt end, with treatment plans, hospital visits and sleepless nights taking over.
We are delighted to announce that from our October round of prize draws we will be donating 10p from every ticket sold to the Make A Wish Foundation.
A wish revives a childhood stolen by critical illness. It brings light and joy to children and their loved ones and leaves a profound and lasting impact on all their lives.
In every region across the UK right now, there are children who are waiting for their magical wishes to be granted, and with your ticket purchase we aim help to make these wishes come true.
