THE TEENS' SPEECH BLOG
On Christmas Day this year, teenage Britain delivered its own message to the nation. Find out more
Who's behind this?
Barnardo’s, the UK's biggest children's charity, believes that helping young people also means helping the UK. Teenagers will inherit and shape our country, so ensuring they have promising and happy futures should be a national concern. That's why we've created The Teens' Speech.
Barnardo’s main aim is to break the vicious cycle of disadvantage that harms the lives of thousands of young people in the UK. No matter who they are, what they have done or what they have been through, we believe in children and young people – and we’re here to help them turn their lives around.
