Barnardo's vital work
Barnardo’s helps over 100,000 children and their families in our vital projects across the UK, dealing with problems from homelessness and disability to bereavement, abuse and poverty.
We believe in the abused, the vulnerable, the forgotten and the neglected. We will support them, stand up for them and bring out the best in each and every child.
Barnardo's range of projects in Wales is broad, providing help and support for young carers, children with disabilities, homeless young people, parents struggling to care for their children and children who have been sexually exploited, among other vulnerable groups.
