Barnardos is committed to the best interests of children and young people in Ireland, promoting and respecting their rights in all of our work.

Barnardos is Ireland's leading children's charity. Each year we work directly with over 12,000 children and families throughout Ireland. Barnardos also raises issues through our advocacy programme to make Ireland the best place in the world for all children in Ireland.



Barnardos responds to the real difficulties of families. We meet children's needs, providing services that challenge disadvantage, and offer new hope for children's futures.
