Why donate to children in need?

Your gift helps kids like Amy* Sam get the specialist support they need to process their trauma so they can build a brighter future.

DONATE TODAY

In Australia, one child dies every two weeks as a result of abuse and neglect.

This is one too many. Children who are suffering from, or who are at risk of abuse and neglect face many challenges in their young lives. They have often been pushed to the edges of society, and their voices are all too rarely heard.

It’s not their fault...

A lot of the children that come into the care of Barnardos have suffered severe trauma, neglect, emotional and physical abuse and exploitation. With our help, these children are given a second chance at a happy, safe childhood.
