Office Angels is delighted to be partnering with Barnardo’s, the UK’s largest children’s charity, who support thousands of young people and their families.

Young people have faced tough unemployment challenges in recent years, first during the pandemic, and now dealing with the challenges of the cost-of-living crisis. This has left many feeling isolated, vulnerable and struggling with poor mental health. Barnardo’s also want to break this cycle.

We are working with Barnardo’s to raise awareness and vital funds for one of their programmes: Employment, Training and Skills (ETS). This programme provides employability support, education provisions and wraparound support for young people in need. This programme reaches young people aged 16-24 who are Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET). The success of the programme sees around 70% of young people move on to a positive destination.

Barnardo’s has ambitious plans to support 750,000 young people by 2025, and we are looking forward to aiding in this mission through our partnership!

Our partnership will cover important fundraising and we have also committed to 400 hours of volunteer work.

In addition to raising the funds on this page, Darren Towers has raised an amazing £1,062 by running 2024 London Marathon for Barnardo's.

Thank you for your support!
