Kidsmas is all about children. While most of us will enjoy festive rituals this year, vulnerable children will need our support more than ever. We want to raise funds to ensure vulnerable children are safe, young people can transform their future and all children are given the best start in life.

Situation
Children today are growing up in a challenging world and the facts are stark. More than 4 million live in poverty; 1 in 8 has a mental health condition; and for those in communities with poor housing and low employment, it’s hard to believe a positive future lies ahead. At Barnardo’s we have seen the effects of Coronavirus on so many of the children, young people and families we support, pushing already vulnerable people over the edge. This Christmas has the potential to be even more challenging
Solution
Last year around 300,000 children, young people and carers were supported by Barnardo’s. The Coronavirus crisis has further increased the need for our services. We have been working throughout the lockdown period to develop safe ways to support children during the crisis. This Christmas we want to extend our Covid-19 Crisis Appeal to provide children, young people and families with: •Access to food and basic essentials •Counselling and mental health support •Digital empowerment •Kidsmas parties
