We are a charity run by and for kinship carers and their families and currently have just over 200 members. Raising someone else's child is a huge responsibility particularly if the child you are caring for has emotional difficulties as a result of early years trauma. For a grandparent parenting a second time around it can be exhausting and isolating and at times extremely stressful and a daunting experience. We would like to provide counselling and mental health activities as many of these children are waiting up to two years to be seen by statutory mental health provision.
