We are struggling to raise enough funds to create our kinship panto this year. This means a great deal to our kinship children and the benefit to them from being involved in it's creation and performance is immense. Please donate, sharing or both.

Another wonderful day spent with @ElaineNvr and Gail Humphrey of preferred future NVR exploring self care with our kinship carers. Lots of time spent considering what self care means for them, what their window of tolerance may look like and strategies to help. ❤️
Thank you to @Masonic_Charity and to Queen Street Masonic Hall for your support and hospitality. We are always made to feel very welcome and our carers feel at home in your beautiful building ❤️
What a fabulous time we've had with our kinship families at our holiday activity camp in partnership with @ActiveFamNE thanks to @Sport_England for funding our work and helping us to keep our families moving, improving health, reduce falls and keeping families together for longer
