Our events
Showcasing Barnardo’s impact
This summer, Barnardo’s
Gifts in Wills team travelled
to London, Birmingham and
Manchester to deliver six
events highlighting the
impact of our work with local
vulnerable children.
The events enabled us to update
and thank our supporters for their
generosity and kindness. Speakers
included adults who were raised
in Barnardo’s care, as well as staff
from local Barnardo’s services who
explained how support from the
public helps Barnardo’s transform
the lives of our beneficiaries.
Attendees also heard how, by
leaving a gift in their Will, they can
leave a vulnerable child someone to
turn to in the future.

The ‘bucket list’ Challenge
Intrepid staff members from
Barnardo’s legal partners,
QualitySolicitors, are supporting
our 150th anniversary by completing
challenges they have always wanted
to do that are on their ‘bucket list’ in
return for donations.
The solicitors, who write Wills for
Barnardo’s supporters who are
considering leaving a gift to the
charity, were joined by family and
friends to complete sky dives, zip
wire over quarries, ran marathons,
motor biked huge distances, sang in
public and even climbed Ben Nevis
and Mount Kilimanjaro!
