Glad you found the @kinshipcharity session for our #KinshipProfessionals useful @M79UK - pls do pass on the slides to colleagues #KinshipCareMatters

[Michelle Hodge @M79UK]

This was a fantastic webinar @drlucypeake @kate_a_obrien @kathywade123 and Charlotte. I look forward to receiving the presentation slides that Lucy shared as these will be good to share within the Family & Friends Team with colleagues ☺️

[Kate O'Brien @kate_a_obrien]

Such fantastic news! Feels like a key step towards realising our @kinshipcharity vision of ALL #kinshipcarers being able to access the support they need when they need it 🙌 Thanks to all the kinship carers who helped develop this & pioneering LAs who invested in #peersupport

[Kinship @kinshipcharity]

We're thrilled that @educationgovuk has asked Kinship to develop & deliver a transformational peer-to-peer support service for #kinshipcarers in England.

Children’s Minister @willquince joined a Kinship peer support group to announce the £1m funding.🧵

And what a superstar you are @Nicola_Kerr1503 on our advice team 🌟

[Chelle 🍒 @chellegarth]

I literally had 30 seconds on the doorstep to decide whether to take my Grandson in or not. Of course I took him, he’s my Grandson and I love him with all my heart. That was almost 5 years ago and I never realised how hard it was going to be, but I have a healthy and happy boy ❤️

[Kate O'Brien @kate_a_obrien]

What better way to kick off #KinshipCareWeek than the launch of the animation made by @KinshipLpool who started KCW in 2016 & @merseysideya to amplify CYP voices growing up in #KinshipCare - @lpoolcouncil you’re v lucky to have such a fantastic org supporting carers in your city!

[APPG on Kinship Care @APPGKinshipCare]

On #KinshipCareWeek we say a huge thanks to all the grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles, other relatives and friends who have stepped in to raise children who can’t live at home 🙌

Kinship carers do an amazing job and we must make sure they and their children are supported.

[Kinship @kinshipcharity]
