Kiranjit Dhillon
Kiranjit (Kiran) got involved with Barnardo’s by chance and since then has displayed a genuine passion for voicing the concerns of young people. She is an enthusiastic promoter of Barnardo’s services to other organisations and even MPs and clearly communicates the needs of young people within the Leaving Care Team to policymakers. She took an active role in presentations at the Barnardo’s Believe in Me conference and co-delivered the launch of the service’s London Voice and Influence Strategy where she spoke confidently about the importance of having a voice and of being listened to. Kiran makes presenting ideas and promoting Barnardo’s services look effortless and is a great role model for other people in the service.
