In a powerful episode of the Voices of Care podcast (sponsored by Newcross Healthcare), Rukshana Kapasi OBE, Director of Health at Barnardo's, has issued an urgent call for the government to back its ambitious child health policies with concrete metrics and genuine partnership with the voluntary sector - or risk seeing children's health fall down the priority list once again.

In this episode of The Business of Healthcare Podcast – How It Got Commissioned, Tara is joined by Rukshana Kapasi, Director of Health at Barnardo's, the UK's largest children's charity.   Rukshana shares the story behind a short-term pilot that placed family support workers in A&E to reduce avoidable and repeat attendances by children and young people. What began as a three month, winter-pressures pilot went on to generate compelling evidence, and ultimately informed a national NHS England rollout across seven regions.   This conversation is a practical, honest look at commissioning outside the usual tendering routes, the power of VCSE partnerships, and why looking beyond traditional NHS funding streams matters more than ever.   In this episode, we explore: The risks and realities of short term pilots, and when they're worth taking Why evidence, outcomes, and confidence data mattered more than access alone The importance of commissioner relationships and senior sponsorship Why starting small, testing, and learning can lead to scalable change   Rukshana also shares practical advice for anyone trying to get an idea commissioned that doesn't neatly fit an existing pathway, including why you shouldn't wait for "perfect" data before starting conversations.   Connect with Rukshana Kapasi here.

Thomas Barnardo war nach London gekommen, um eine Missionarsausbildung zu absolvieren, als ihm ein zehnjähriges Kind ein Dach zeigte, unter dem elf obdachlose Jungen schliefen. Barnardo machte sich auf die Suche nach einer Unterkunft für sie. Nächtliche Rundgänge zeigten ihm mehr obdachlose Jugendliche; an einem Abend waren es sogar dreiundsiebzig. China musste warten. Barnardo verkaufte etwa dreihunderttausend Exemplare der Schrift, um Geld für seine Arbeit unter den Kindern zu sammeln. Oft wurde er verfolgt, weil er sie verteidigte, und er erlitt sogar körperliche Verletzungen. Als 1866 eine Cholera-Epidemie London traf, arbeitete er unermüdlich, doch Tausende starben. So mancher hätte aufgegeben, aber nicht Barnardo. Er eröffnete er ein Heim für mittellose Jungen und später ein Dorf für Mädchen. In den folgenden Jahrzehnten baute er Heime und Kinderdörfer für etwa sechzigtausend verlassene Kinder. Er wurde als „Vater der Kinder ohne Eltern“ bekannt. Und er lebte lange genug, um zu sehen, wie siebzehn der von ihm geretteten jungen Menschen in den Dienst gingen und das Evangelium in fremde Länder brachten. Du fragst: „Wie kann ich sicher sein, dass Gott mich zu einer bestimmten Wohltätigkeit beruft?“ Weil du von Mitleid bewegt wirst! „Als Jesus die Menschenmenge sah, wurde Er von Mitleid für sie bewegt, weil sie müde und zerstreut waren, wie Schafe, die keinen Hirten haben. Er sagte: ‚Die Ernte ist groß, aber die Arbeiter sind wenige. Bittet daher den Herrn der Ernte, Arbeiter in Seine Ernte zu senden‘“ (s.Mt 9, 36-38).

Send us a textEpisode 223Fog drifts over the East End of London. The narrow alleys echo with the clatter of horse hooves and the cries of market traders. But beneath the noise and bustle lies another world — one of ragged children huddled in doorways, barefoot, hungry, and forgotten. Into this desperate landscape walks a young man with a fiery vision. Trained in medicine, driven by faith, and stirred by compassion, he dares to ask a dangerous question: what if every child, no matter how poor, could be given shelter, safety, and a chance at life? This is the story of Dr. Thomas Barnardo — and how one man's dream would change the fate of thousands.Support the showInsta@justpassingthroughpodcastContact:justpassingthroughpodcast@gmail.com

Když 19. září roku 1905 zemřel Thomas Barnardo, ztratil svět jednoho z největších filantropů. Rodák z irského Dublinu zasvětil život chudým, společensky znevýhodněným dětem a vytvořil do té doby nevídanou síť dětských domovů. Na svět přišel 4. 7. 1845 v rodině známého kožešníka. V jednadvaceti letech se vydal do Londýna studovat lékařství, ale po dvou letech ze školy odešel. Hluboce ho zasáhly podmínky v East Endu, tedy v té nejzuboženější části Londýna.

How do we tackle an issue like school absenteeism? Fergus Finlay, Political Commentator, Irish Examiner Columnist & Former CEO of Barnardo's joins Andrea with a number of other guests to go through this rising problem.

Dell Technologies has announced the extension of its current eight-year collaboration with children's charity Barnardos for a further year. This extension will bring the relationship to almost a decade long commitment to supporting children and their families in communities across Ireland. Since 2017, Dell Technologies team across its three campuses here in Dublin, Cork and Limerick have raised hundreds of thousands of euros and donated tens of thousands of volunteering hours to support Barnardo's family support programs. This includes annual participation in Barnardos Giving Day, a key fundraising event calling on the public to donate and support charity's mission of providing essential services to vulnerable children and families. The combined funding and the hands-on involvement have helped Barnardos continue their work with 26,000 local children and families they support across 56 services nationwide who are struggling with poor mental health, bereavement, financial strain and the impact of addiction. Over the coming year, Barnardos and Dell will provide additional training, social media assistance and volunteering contribution to the children's charity. Together they will join forces to develop digital learning opportunities so children can access Barnardos services across the country and develop essential digital skills. Commenting on the charity extension, Colman O'Flynn, Cork Site Lead and Vice President of Business Transformation at Dell Technologies Ireland, said, "We're delighted to be extending our collaboration with Barnardos Ireland. For close to eight years, our team members have come together to give of their time and skills as well as raising much-needed funds for the inspiring work undertaken by Barnardos and its team in communities across Ireland. This has helped 26,000 children and families in need. By extending our relationship, we can enable the children's charity to make a lasting difference in the lives of children and the families they serve over the coming two years." Welcoming the announcement Suzanne Connolly, Barnardos CEO said: "Since 2017, the Dell Technologies team has been vital in Barnardos mission to create positive change for vulnerable children and families across Ireland. Because childhood lasts a lifetime. The continuous support of volunteers from each Dell site in Dublin, Cork and Limerick each year, particularly for our annual Giving Day, have made such a significant impact to the work we do. We are thrilled that our relationship with Dell is being extended and look forward to what is ahead."

There are nearly 70,000 children in the UK who are in foster care. Foster carers main concern has to be the children they look after, including many who have experienced neglect and trauma. But they are self-employed, so there are also financial considerations, from allowances and fees, to tax returns and receipts. In this programme we'll hear from charities, foster carers and care leavers. We'll also discuss new analysis from the Fostering Network, which found foster carers face a post code lottery when it comes to fees they're paid. Foster carers are given an allowance to pay for clothes and food - but they're also usually paid extra on top to recognise their time and skills. Those fees aren't fixed though, and local authorities can each individually decide how much to award.Using freedom of information requests the charity found 60% of local authorities across the UK are paying foster carers the equivalent of less than £5 an hour based on a 40 hour week. Local Authorities are given funding from central government and the devolved nations – the told us they are reviewing support for foster carers. Felicity Hannah, is joined by Sarah Thomas, Chief Executive of The Fostering Network and Brenda Farrell, Head of Fostering at Barnardo's.Presenter: Felicity Hannah Producer: Sarah Rogers Editor: Jess Quayle(This episode was first broadcast at 3pm on Weds 18th Sept 2024).

In 1981 Brian Clough paid £1 million pounds to bring Justin Fashanu to Nottingham Forest. It was the climax of a meteoric career, but within months the goals had dried up, he'd been going to gay nightclubs, and Fashanu had also become become a born again Christian. Four decades later Justin Fashanu remains top flight English football's only openly gay player. From his beginnings in care with brother John as Barnardo's boys, via adoption, boxing, football and failed pop star, this is an extraordinary life, beautifully highlighted by his nominator, Ekow Eshun."He was a pioneer - he broke ground. He was a prominent black footballer at a time when to be black and a footballer was fraught territory, when players were barracked from the terraces for no other reason than the colour of their skin." Ekow EshunAlso in studio is Richard Williams of the Guardian, who saw Fashanu play on the way and on the way down. Plus there is moving archive of Fashanu himself, and also from his niece, Amal Fashanu, talking at the time of the release of her documentary, Britain's Gay Footballers.The producer for BBC Studios Audio is Miles Warde

Recently on the show we delved into the nuts and bolts of the Barnardo's Annual Back to School Survey which found primary school parents spent €119 on uniforms and secondary school parents spent €211 this year. But are school uniforms an outdated concept? We discus this with Eric Nelligan, Teacher, Assistant Principal and Aontu Spokesperson on Education and also Jen Hogan Journalist and Columnist with The Irish Times.

Barnardo's Annual Back to School Survey has been released highlighting the real cost to parents of Ireland's free education system. We speak to Barnardos CEO Suzanne Connelly on the survey findings.

Between 1946 and 1966, the ball boys at one of the world's most prestigious tennis tournaments, Wimbledon, were selected from children's homes run by the Barnardo's charity. Two of them were Winston Norton and Sam Hill. Sam had been taken into care because his parents' home was too small to house their six children; Winston because his mother could not cope with the abuse she'd received for having a mixed-race child. At their children's home in Hertfordshire, north of London, they were put through a strict exercise regimen, hoping to be one of the 60 boys selected to work at that year's tournament. When they made the grade, they found themselves on court with the game's biggest names. It was an experience that would change their lives.Audio scenes have been re-created.

Preventative public services are designed to deal with problems before they develop, or before they become more complicated to manage. Evidence suggests that children in particular benefit from investment whether that's in the early years, or earlier in their life cycle, helping to prevent problems from determining their outcomes later in life. The Labour Party has put prevention at the centre of its plans for public services, promising a ‘prevention first revolution'. And the government has identified increased prevention as a key contributor towards improved public sector productivity. However, high demand for acute services means governments have often found it difficult to invest in prevention. So what can be done to bring about a change of approach? This event brought together a panel of experts to discuss: What are preventative services and how has investment in them changed over time? What evidence is there that preventative services improve outcomes and deliver savings? What are the barriers to government taking a preventative approach? How could government funding be shifted towards preventative services? What can be learnt from previous examples of preventative approaches? To discuss these questions and more, we were joined by an expert panel, including: Stuart Hoddinott, Senior Researcher at the Institute for Government Rt Hon Sir Sajid Javid MP, former Chancellor of the Exchequer and Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Donna Molloy, Deputy Chief Executive at Foundations Lynn Perry MBE, Chief Executive of Barnardo's The event was chaired by Nick Davies, Programme Director at the Institute for Government. We would like to thank Barnardo's for kindly supporting this event.

In part two of now THREE, Amanda explores fast fashion 1.0 and 2.0 through the lens of her career.  In this episode we will break down all of the acrobatics brands did to bring their customers more and more newness, faster and faster.   How fashion got faster with some help from social media and the normalization of shopping online. How retailers began to commodify every holiday and occasion, creating products we didn't really need for every and any "event." Why fast fashion retailers started to carry a lot of new things that weren't clothing. How small online-only retailers like Modcloth, Nasty Gal, Lulu's, and Dolls Kill were able to offer even more steady newness without a huge in-house design team. Get ready to learn about the San Pedro Apparel Mart. How fast fashion 2.0 brands like Fashion Nova and Boohoo could keep prices low while creating product faster than anyone else.  Additional reading:"Barnardo's calls for people to think 'pre-loved' before buying new clothes"Planet Money, Episode 765: The Holiday Industrial Complex"Is Urban Outfitters Phasing Out Its Indie Athleisure Brand?," Adele Chapin, Racked."From the San Pedro Wholesale Mart, a Brand Rises," Kari Hamanaka, WWD."Boohoo's business model is as cheeky as a bikini paired with chaps," The Economist."Inside the lavish lives of the billionaire family behind Boohoo, the fast-fashion giant called out in an investigation into workers being paid just $4 an hour at suppliers' factories," Mary Hanbury, Insider."Boohoo booms as Leicester garment factories are linked to lockdown," Archie Bland and Annie Kelly, The Guardian."Dark factories: labour exploitation in Britain's garment industry," Sarah O'Connor, Financial Times."Boohoo opens first owned factory in ‘new chapter' amid international market challenges," Emily Hawkins, City A.M."Three graphs revealing how Fashion Nova disrupted the fashion industry," Edited."Fashion Nova's Secret: Underpaid Workers in Los Angeles Factories," Natalie Kitroeff, The New York Times.FTC Announces Refund Claims Process for Fashion Nova Customers Affected by Deceptive Review PracticesSpecial thanks to this episode's sponsors:Soft Work, intuitive garment construction for beginners.

14 years ago, FDN was being taught as an in-person course that you could complete in one long weekend. Since then, we've evolved into a course that has over 4,000 graduates in 50+ countries around the world!   One of the countries we are seeing increasing demand in is Australia. With different, ever-changing laws and opposite time zones, many people ask us whether or not they will be fully supported as an Australian FDN trainee. The answer is (thankfully) absolutely, 100% YES!   To explain how FDN works across in Australia, we are interviewing Antoinette Barnardo, an FDN Course Mentor who works and lives there!   Best yet? Like all of our FDN mentors, she has a REAL health story and actually graduated from the program herself.   Let us know if you have any questions about what was discussed today! Reach out on Instagram @fdntraining, or book a call with one of our Course Enrollment Advisors by going to www.fdntraining.com/call.    Want to catch live episodes of The Health Detective Podcast?   Subscribe on YouTube:

GUEST 1 OVERVIEW: Uncle Bruce Shillingsworth Snr, a Budjiti / Murrawari Elder, is one of 11 children in a creative and artistic family. His wife, children and grandchildren and family are all artists, painters, dancers and rainmakers. After collecting indigenous stories for over 50 years, Bruce began to paint on canvas and glass. Uncle Bruce's family and land is in north-west NSW – the Namoi, Barwon and Darling Rivers. Towns in the area include Brewarrina, Bourke, Enngonia, Wilcannia and Walgett. These north-west river communities have been devastated by water diversion by big cotton farmers and irrigators. Bruce is a cultural educator in Sydney and leads a cultural revival dance group in the north-west. His diverse career and vocation included educating young people for Barnardo's, Scouts Australia and NSW Education about responsibility to be in our history and living sensibly and sustainably. Bruce Shillingsworth lives in Redfern in Sydney and regularly works in Brewarrina teaching indigenous kids about coping with racism, and avoiding prison and alcohol. Uncle Bruce often brings groups of children and youth to Sydney for safe excursions to help them adjust to city life. He is a community youth worker and runs the local youth centre.  His vision is that indigenous and non-indigenous Australians will walk together and see our collective national identities and concerns. GUEST 2 OVERVIEW: Matthew Hopkins is an Australian Lawyer living in Russia. 

Amidst a cost of living crisis, almost 9 in 10 young adults say that simply having enough money to cover their basic needs is classed as aspirational, according to a survey by the children's charity Barnardo's. We hear about some of the financial pressures burdening young people - from renting, to food costs and car expenses. In this podcast, BBC Newsbeat's Cost of Living Reporter, Sam Gruet, joins Felicity Hannah and Alice Haine, Personal Finance Analyst at Bestinvest. Presenter: Felicity Hannah Producer: Amber Mehmood and Sarah Rogers Reporter: Sam Gruet (Newsbeat Cost of Living Reporter) Editor: Beatrice Pickup (First broadcast 3pm, Wednesday 28th June, 2023)

Bruce is a Murawari man, is one of 11 children in a creative and artistic family.After collecting indigenous stories for over 50 years, Bruce recently began to paint on canvas. His diverse career and vocation involve educating young people for Barnardo's, Scouts Australia and NSW Education about history and responsibility to be involved with living sensibly and sustainably.

On this episode we discussed a Barnardo's report which showed that kids are being sent to school hungry, because their parents are so cash strapped. We asked is there any excuse in Ireland for kids being hungry and cold?

The Barnardo Trail was Justice Served? Paul Kenneth Bernardo also known as The Scarborough Pedo Rapist and The Schoolgirl Killer, is a Canadian serial killer and serial rapist. He is known for initially committing a series of rapes in Scarborough, Ontario, a suburb of Toronto, between 1987 and 1990, before subsequently committing three murders with his then-wife Karla Homolka; among these victims was her young sister Tammy Homolka. After his capture and conviction, Bernardo was sentenced to life imprisonment and was later declared a dangerous offender, thus making it unlikely that he will ever be released from prison. At his October 17, 2018 parole meeting, evidence from expert psychiatric reports found that he had "deviant sexual interests sexual sadism, voyeurism, and paraphilia narcissistic personality disorder Bernardo scored 35 out of 40 on the Psychopathy Checklist, a psychological assessment tool used to assess the presence of psychopathy in individuals

It's our final guest of season five. Angela Roche is a graphic designer and creative director who runs Manchester studio, Love & Logic. We've been trying to get Angela on the show for quite some time. Disclaimer alert: we're great friends and once shared an office when she was running Design By Day – a brand and digital agency that had tremendous success, working for clients such as the NHS, Barnardo's, and Brother. We fondly remember leaning out of the window of our Northern Quarter base, watching the world go by as we helped each other figure out all the challenges of running a business. Or when we had swivel chair races across the floor. Or create fun videos for her agency's Instagram feed. Or when we dressed one of our team as a 'hipster', complete with a fixie bike, turned-up jeans and a little hat. They were great times and great people: Sami, Jonathan, Rob (whom we've also had on the podcast), Parham and many more that followed. Angela looked after them all, offering a great place to work and grow. But after 12 years – 16 months spent during the pandemic – Angela found herself at a difficult crossroads. After much soul-searching, which we can imagine wasn't easy for someone we know who cares hugely about other people, Angela decided running an agency wasn't for her anymore. And so, she closed Design By Day and launched her solo venture, Love & Logic. In this episode, we'll talk about building a design agency and its many challenges, and we'll hear of Angela's experience of closing it down, despite its success. We'll cover themes of the fear of failure, confronting gut feelings, and opting for difficult choices when you know they involve more than just you.
