Why are we asking you to devote some of your precious time and energy to be a trustee at Barnardo's? Perhaps for any one or more of the following:

• The sector that we operate within
  If you believe that it's important to try to transform life outcomes for the UK's most vulnerable children and young people, then you can help by volunteering as a trustee in this sector.

• Our scale and heritage
  As the UK's largest children's charity, we really can make a huge difference. Barnardo's staff, volunteers and trustees are determined to do even more in future. As a trustee, you can help us deliver on that intention by ensuring Barnardo's sustainable and long-term future as part of a committed and hard-working board.

• Your personal contribution
  This is a chance for you to contribute your knowledge, expertise and enthusiasm - and to give something back.
