Kinship is the new name for Grandparents Plus
We’re here for all kinship families. Read about why we’ve changed our name
Kinship is the leading kinship care charity in England and Wales. We are here for all kinship carers – the grandparents and siblings, the aunts, uncles, and family friends who step up to raise children when their parents aren’t able to.
We won’t rest until every kinship family has the recognition, value and support they need and deserve.
Are you a kinship carer needing support? We can help you.
