Any kinship carer who is not biologically related to the kinship children they care for. Unfortunately, children cannot attend this group.
Our group offers:
– Peer support: connect with others in similar circumstances and who truly understand your experiences.
– Emotional encouragement: a judgment-free space to just listen or share feelings. To talk about challenges and to celebrate good things.

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.
