East Midlands Yorkshire and the Humber | Kinship group, Social activities
In person
Online

Run by a kinship carer, for all kinship carers in Lincolnshire. The group aims to provide support, information and a network to answer questions members have about kinship care that they don't receive from professionals. They meet in person once a month and have a Facebook page and a group chat. Their other aim is for our children to be able to meet, play and make friends with other kids in the same situation as them and they raise money to help all members on days out to create forever memories with their families
