Kinship Care Week: 7 to 13 October 2024

Kinship Care Week is an opportunity to celebrate the incredible role that kinship carers play in children’s lives and society. It’s also an important time to help everyone understand what kinship care is.

Kinship Care Week 2024

Kinship Care Week (7 to 13 October 2024) has officially landed and so has our new #ThisIsKinshipCare animation.

Written and recorded by kinship carers, the film speaks to the joy, the warmth, the humour, the love, as well as the challenges of being a kinship family.

To ensure our kinship care message travels far and wide this Kinship Care Week, please share the animation and follow us on socials to stay up to date: Facebook – @kinshipcarecharity; Instagram – @kinship_charity and X – @kinshipcharity.

"Fostering is a well-known term; why isn’t kinship care?"
