Testimonials:

Recently, John Wills (Education Development Officer) from Barnardos made a presentation to a group of Transition Year students on how Barnardos support children. The focus was on poverty and disadvantage and the group was fully engaged throughout. From their questions at the end it was clear that the students appreciated how children need support to break out of the cycle and reach their potential. I would strongly recommend this presentation to other schools
