Kinship Care Week

It's Kinship Care Week, a national week of awareness, recognition, and celebration of kinship families across England and Wales.

Kinship carers are grandparents, aunts and uncles, brothers and sisters, other relatives or friends, who step in to raise children who cannot live at home.

Stoke on Trent City Council wishes to thank all kinship foster carers for the vital and extraordinary difference you make by providing love, safety, and stability to children when their families need it most. Your incredible dedication offers children a sense of belonging and a strong family foundation, often with great personal sacrifice. You are seen, supported, and appreciated for transforming lives.
