Exclusive: Charity has long said 92% of spending goes on ‘working with the children and young people’ but data suggests 73.7%
Britain’s biggest children’s charity, Barnardo’s, has rewritten its website and is revising other promotional material after a Guardian investigation into its spending claims.
The charity, which had an income of £299.5m in the last financial year, has long boasted that 92p goes on “working with the children and young people” for every £1 that it spends a year.
