We’re here to help children and young people feel safer, happier, healthier, and more hopeful.
Need help? We’re here for you
I’m a young person
Sometimes, things might get tough at school, at home or even with your friends. From ways to look after your mental wellbeing to tips about staying safe online and everything in between, we've got you.
I’m a parent or carer
Family life can be full of moments that make you smile, as well as times that test your patience or leave you searching for answers. In our Family Space you’ll find plenty of practical information to help you and your family thrive.
I’m interested in fostering or adoption
Imagine finally feeling like you belong. If you want to give a child a loving home where they can thrive, we're here to help.

Take on the London Landmarks Half Marathon
Pass iconic sights like St Paul’s and the Tower of London, with DJs, dancers and crowds cheering you on to a spectacular Whitehall finish. You can sign up for a charity place or join Team Barnardo's with your own.
Misogyny isn’t new, but the way children and young people encounter it is.
For children and young people, online and offline life are one and the same; and harmful misogynistic content is everywhere. It’s not ‘just locker room talk’ and it’s not banter – these are quietly normalised, harmful attitudes and behaviours that no child should ever learn to accept. We need to name what the problems are to find real solutions that work. That’s why it’s time to call it what it is.
Stay inspired. Stay informed.
Our email newsletter is full of real stories showing how your support changes lives, alongside practical advice for the children and young people in your life, plus ways to help make an even bigger difference for children across the UK.
