About Barnardos

Barnardo's is a children's charity that protects and supports the UK’s most vulnerable children and young people. We help bring out the best in them – no matter who they are or what they have been through.
To become a volunteer, all you need is enthusiasm and a desire to help. You can choose how much time you give and we'll give you all the training and support you need.

We welcome people from all nationalities and backgrounds. Our volunteers include job-seekers, retired workers, asylum seekers, full-time workers, students and schoolchildren.

Whoever you are and however you choose to volunteer, you’ll be part of a supportive community coming together to transform children’s lives.

You’ll also: learn useful skills; gain valuable work experience; meet new people; support your community; share your knowledge; make a real difference
