2022’s Kinship Care Week theme

Last year, the theme for #KinshipCareWeek2022 was ‘Kinship Memory of the Year’. Kinship carers were encouraged to share their #BestKinshipMemory. Whether it was a birthday party, a family activity or helping your kinship child to learn a new skill, like riding a bike, together we shone a light on your best memories.

Kinship carer grandmother Lynne shared her #BestKinshipMemory from the last year which included a kinship family meetup at South Shields beach and becoming a kinship carer with support from Kinship

I love my grandchildren but being a kinship carer is hard. From day one it was a constant battle to get information, help and support for myself and the children.

It felt like I was banging my head against a brick wall.Kinship carer grandmother Lynne
