For thousands of children in the UK, life is a frightening, lonely, hungry experience. They often don’t know where to turn, who to trust, or what to do.

Barnardo’s helps over 100,000 of these vulnerable children, and we need your support. One way you can help is to buy a gift for a young person on behalf of one of your loved ones from the Barnardo’s Real Gifts site.

Each gift has been specially selected to bring hope and comfort to vulnerable children – and to their families.

All you have to do is select which gift you’d like to give. This could be a simple meal, a safe place to stay for a homeless young person, a new bicycle, or even specialised equipment to help children who can’t speak to communicate.

We’ll send your friends and family a beautiful card and magnet by post…

…or an e-card by email, personalised with your own message and detailing the difference you are making to vulnerable children in the UK.

If you can’t decide on a gift, buy a Real Gift Voucher and let the person you’re giving to decide how they want to help transform the lives of children.
