Kinship Carers Support Group

Kinship carers are family members or friends who end up looking after a child because their parents aren’t able to care for them due to any reason, for example bereavement, imprisonment, ill health, drug or alcohol misuse etc. 

The support group aims to: 

  • Provide a safe and supportive environment to share experiences and explore the unique challenges faced by Kinship Carers
  • Establish support/social networks for Kinship Carers
  • Learn from visiting guest speakers about relevant topics and matters of shared interest.

Please scroll to the bottom of the page for links to our latest events and to sign up to our mailing list.

Kinship Carers Support Group – Save the Date: Saturday, 10am-12pm: 28th September, 12th October, 9th November, 14th December 2024.

Please note: The Support Group is only suitable for Parents/Carers. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide childcare, or accommodate children, unless otherwise stated.

For the first time, I have a good understanding about why my partner's grandchildren present with such challenging behaviour.
