Ways to get involved with Barnabas

At Barnabas, most of our income is restricted to specific projects. With the demand for charity services at an all-time high, far outstripping the availability of funding, we need to fundraise to help cover the day-to-day operational costs of the charity, which are not widely supported financially.

This fundraising also enables us to continue offering bespoke support projects to young people engaging with us. In our Youth Work this may look like a social enterprise, or a project the young people want to take the lead on. In our Housing, this may take the form of refurbishment of our properties, or the purchase of essentials for new residents.

With further investment and community support, we hope to continue the development of our Wellwood House town-centre base, to create a community hub specifically for young people, a place they can call their own, strengthening their identity within the local community – offering chill out zones, learning and development spaces, and vital supported accommodation for vulnerable young people experiencing housing crisis. This is an exciting project which will change the outlook for many local young people.
