Our visit from Barnardo's

 This afternoon we were lucky enough to have a visit  from Barnardo's. This is part of our Young Leader's project. We learnt lots of facts about the founder  of Barnardo's called Thomas Barnardo. Barnardo's was  founded in 1866 and told us how they helped other  children in London where it first ever started. We were  told a story about a girl called Sophie who has been  helped by Barnardo's she was a young carer and had  no hot water she ate cold meals such as beans from a  tin. She had no friends and smelled bad before  Barnardo's helped her. We learnt about what an inspirational leader Thomas Barnardo was and what a difference he is still making today.
