Find out about campaigning with us for more and better support for kinship carers and their families.
Fundraise for Kinship
We help kinship carers to get the support and information they need to provide a stable, loving home for the children they care for. But we can’t do it without you.
Set up your JustGiving PageWe are Kinship
We’re here for kinship carers who step up to raise a child when their parents aren’t able to. Often during an unexpected crisis. And in that moment, a commitment is made – to bring love and hope to a child who has experienced trauma. No matter what.
By fundraising for Kinship, you’re helping us to provide advice and support to kinship carers who are caring for more than 141,000 kinship children in England and Wales.
Whether that’s through our Advice Line, our peer support groups, our free workshops or our Someone Like Me service – you’re helping us to connect kinship carers so that they feel empowered, not isolated.
