Be a champion for children and help us give Aussie kids a brighter future
Why do we need champions for children?
At Barnardos, we want to empower every child in Australia to reach their full potential. For most children, the future looks bright and is filled with endless opportunities.
However, some children are not so lucky.
Every day we are seeing more Australian children suffer under the heavy weight of disadvantage. Whilst we’re working intensively to break this cycle, the need for our vital services continues to rapidly grow.
Tragically in Australia
