Where does the money go?
All funds you raise will directly support Barnardos’ work with some of the most vulnerable children, families and individuals facing challenges such as consistent poverty; domestic violence or neglect; parental mental ill health or addiction; separation and bereavement – these are what we refer to as ACE’s or adverse childhood experiences.
Our work supports children to achieve their milestones and develop resilience to help them overcome any challenges they may face. Your breakfast will help fuel brighter futures so we need your help to change a child’s story today. Because childhood lasts a lifetime.
Can I get my workplace or company involved?
Yes please! We’d love to collaborate with businesses – whether through hosting an office breakfast or matching donations.
