Special interest groups
As part of developing groups for kinship carers to come together, we heard that some carers would like to meet other carers that they may have additional things in common with, as well as kinship care.
See our other special interest groups.
If you can’t find a special interest group that meets your needs, please contact us at peersupport@kinship.org.uk.
