Still want to become an office Hero, here's how you can!
We’re looking to recruit a dedicated member of staff at each member company, as a Barnardos Office Hero. It will be their role to champion the cause of Barnardos in the workplace and encourage their colleagues to get involved with fundraising events and activities, all of which will be supported by the Barnardos Fundraising team. A member of the Barnardos Fundraising team will then arrange to meet with you to formulate a programme of activities in your workplace over the coming months.
