Barnardos Case study

Hi guys, this below is a Barnardos case study-


What is Barnardos?-

Barnardos is a children’s charity. The charity deals with children who are coping with, poverty, disability, abuse and exploitation. The public can support the campaign, therefore making our country a, more safer, and loving environment.


History-

Thomas Barnardos, who came to London in 1866, was horrified to find children sleeping in the streets and being forced to beg for food. Barnardos then decided to set up the Ragged School and started to help abused, neglected and forgotten children. Thomas Barnardos died in 1905. Before his death Barnardos managed to set up 96 homes caring for more than 8,500 children. Today, Barnardos cares for more than 100,000 children and their families. (http://www.barnardos.org.uk/) Barnardos believed that children deserve the best start in life, and as a society today, we also share the same vision.







Barnardos today- The Duchess of Cornwall was made president of the charity in October 2007. Since becoming Barnardos persident she has jumped straight into her new role by embarking on a series of visits to see the vital work of Barnardos at first hand. . http://www.barnardos.org.uk/who_we_are/president.htm
