On Thursday, 25th May we were delighted to host a peer support group for Kinship Carers upstairs in the Snug.

The Princess of Wales made a special visit to hear from kinship families about their experiences of raising the child of a relative or friend after they could no longer live with their parents.

Her Royal Highness met grandparents, aunts and uncles who have been supported by Kinship, including attending kinship carer peer support groups.

While playing with some of the kinship carers’ young children, she heard about their day-to-day experiences of raising their children and the joys and challenges those experiences bring.

Joining the conversation was musician and TV personality Professor Green and his grandmother Nanny Pat to share their experience of kinship care and their special bond.
