Donate cost of your commute to Barnardo’s – Yorkshire Post Letters

MORE and more vulnerable children and young people are feeling the effects of repeated lockdowns, uncertainty and isolation. The impact of the second wave is pushing a generation of the most vulnerable children in our country into a downward spiral of deprivation.

We at Barnardo’s are asking people to donate what would have been the cost of their usual daily commute or coffee to support these children and their families, so they can deal with the immediate challenges they are facing today.

We can support them with vital things, like putting food on the table, paying for heating and electricity (especially in the recent very cold temperatures), affording data so children can keep up with school online, and having access to counselling as children and young people all across the country are struggling with their mental health.

A week’s worth of coffees could mean a week’s worth of food for a child. With your help, we can deliver the practical and emotional support families in crisis need.

You can help by supporting our Children in Crisis Appeal today via Barnardo’s Just Giving Page www.justgiving.com/campaign/donateyourdailycommute
