Media

As the leading kinship care charity, dedicated solely to supporting kinship families across England and Wales, we are the best place to come for media enquiries on kinship care.

We have the latest and most comprehensive statistics on kinship care as well as media ambassadors and spokespeople happy to talk to journalists.

Our community of over 8,000 kinship carers means that we have extremely rich lived experiences to draw upon.

Here you can read and watch some recent kinship care stories we have contributed to.

We are tireless in our mission to raise awareness of kinship care in society, so if you are a journalist, we’d love to talk to you. Please get in touch with us:
