"I really enjoyed listening to the ideas from others and realising that I was capable of making a difference. It encouraged me to get going with my campaign and made me believe I am not on my own doing this. "

Campaigning resources
We have created a range of easy-to-use toolkits to help you plan your campaign activities.
This guide will help you think through how you and/or your support group can get involved in Kinship’s #ValueOurLove campaign to create effective and impactful change for kinship families.
This toolkit contains information on how to approach and persuade your local authority to make sure kinship families are better supported. It includes information on who to contact, what to ask for and how best to do it.
This toolkit contains information on building a campaign, working out who to target and how to measure your success. It also includes some great ideas on how to grow support locally.
Your MP is there to represent you in Parliament, and they can be a powerful lever for change. This toolkit guides you through how to contact your MP, how to have a positive meeting and what to ask them to do.
Our kinship care constituency map provides figures about kinship care in each local area across England and Wales.
Our kinship care policy tracker will help you understand more about the current state of play for kinship care policy in England.
