During the past three years, the charity has had contact with more than 4,000 children and young people who live in fear of sexual exploitation.
The organisation has unveiled its Better Start in Life appeal to raise 1m this year to help fund 16 community-based services.
The appeal will also mark the centenary of the death of the charity's founder, Dr Thomas Barnardo, and will be accompanied by the publication of a report. The study, entitled Then and Now, charts the problems young people have faced over the past 100 years.
