From Wikipedia:

Barnardo\'s is a Britishcharity founded by Thomas John Barnardo in 1866, to care for vulnerablechildren and young people. As of 2013, it spends over £191 million each year onmore than 800 local services, aimed at helping these same groups. It is the UK\'slargest children\'s charity, in terms of charitable expenditure. Itsheadquarters are in Barkingside in the London Borough of Redbridge

Barnardos was founded by anIrishman, Thomas Barnardo, who was born in Dame Street, Dublin.The charity\'s founder, Thomas Barnardo, opened a school in the East End ofLondon to care for and educate children of the area left orphaned and destituteby the recent cholera outbreak, see A History of Barnardos. A little streetchild called Jim Jarvis attended one of his classes after hearing of it fromanother child and asked for help. The little boy eventually led him to a hidingplace of hundreds of boys on a rooftop in Whitechapel as their only alternativewas to go to a workhouse. In 1870 he founded a boys\' orphanage at 18 StepneyCauseway and later opened a girls\' home. By the time of his death in 1905,Barnardo\'s institutions cared for over 8,500 children in 96 locations. His workwas carried on by his many supporters under the name Dr Barnardo\'s Homes.Following societal changes in the mid-20th century, the charity changed itsfocus from the direct care of children to fostering and adoption, renamingitself Dr Barnardo\'s. Following the closure of its last traditionalorphanage in 1989, it took the still simpler name of Barnardo\'s. Theofficial mascot of Barnardo\'s is a bear called Barney. H.M. Queen Elizabeth II isthe current patron of Barnardo\'s. Its current Chief Executive is Javed Khan.
