- We extend the hand of friendship to grandparents who are struggling to retain contact with their grandchildren.
- We offer emotional and practical support, and access to information and advice, such as helping grandparents and kinship carers understand their rights, legal options and financial entitlements, or helping prepare for meetings or assessments and interacting with professionals.
- We promote a positive attitude to Kinship Care, and signpost carers to services and organisations who can help.
