This Volunteers’ Week, we’re celebrating Jacqueline ✨

Jacqueline volunteers at our Loves Farm and Sandy shops. She has just reached an incredible 5 years of volunteering with us, and we’re so grateful for everything she brings to the team

Jacqueline loves creating handmade gifts, baskets and seasonal pieces to help raise money for the charity. From thoughtful displays to tombola prizes and fundraising ideas, she’s always finding new ways to make things feel extra special.

In her words:
“I love helping at Barnardo’s and doing what I can to support the shop. I enjoy putting things together and trying to make them look special for people. It makes me happy knowing that the little things I make can help support children and families.”

Thank you, Jacqueline, for your creativity, kindness, dedication and for the difference you make every single day 💚

Be there for children everywhere. Be more Gladys.

This month, look out for our Legacy TV advert which raises awareness about Gift in Wills, and how they support children and young people.

Our advert features the character Gladys, who leaves a gift in her Will which could support Barnardo’s in many ways, such as to support young carers, improve children's mental health, provide homes for young people leaving care and build stronger families through our family centres.

It will be shown across a variety of channels including Channel 4, Film4, More4 and Sky channels throughout March, which is also Free Wills Month. If you’d like to find out more about writing your Will for free this month, you can find out more here - https://www.barnardos.org.uk/get-involved/donate/leaving-gift-your-will/free-will-services
