Black History Month is an opportunity to celebrate the diversity of our charity, recognise and celebrate the contributions of our Black and Minoritised Ethnic colleagues and volunteers, while continuing to learn about Black history and experiences.

This year’s theme “Honouring Our Communities” shines a light on Black and Minoritised Ethnic people whose leadership, care, resilience, and service help to create stronger, safer and more inclusive communities, often without recognition.

We are deeply saddened to hear that PAPYRUS has entered administration. Their work has supported so many young people, families and communities and the loss of HOPELINE247 will be felt across the country. Our thoughts are with every member of staff, volunteer, fundraiser and family connected to PAPYRUS.

An important update regarding Papyrus Prevention of Young Su***de and HopeLine24/7. Please see the statement above for details and alternative support services. For more information, please click on the link.

Hi friends,
We've recently had some sad news that, friend of ETSN Pamela Mason, passed away last month. She was a passionate supporter of Barnardo's and a loyal customer of our hair salon. She allowed our learners to colour her hair all the colours of the rainbow and practice their hairdressing skills without judgement. We will miss her wicked sense of humour and the cheeky twinkle in her eye. This is a photo of Pam and tutor Lesley from back in 2015.

Everyone should be free to be themselves

We support LGBT+ (le***an, gay, bisexual, trans and those questioning their sexual or gender identity) children, young people and their families in the UK.
All of our services strive to be safe and inclusive spaces for LGBT+ young people.
We provide direct support to LGBT+ children and young people around their gender and sexual identities. We also work with parents, carers and families.
Through our Positive Identities service we offer training to schools, professionals and community groups. Our training raises awareness of LGBT+ lives, promotes inclusion and tackles homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying.
