Campaigning

Recently there was a Kinship Carers Campaigning group set up in the North East of England to try to bring the plight of Kinship Carers to the attention of the regional local authorities as well as the national government.

Senior Campaigns Officer Charlotte Lawson from Kinship was tasked with putting this group together from amongst all the Kinship Care families here in the North East.

Charlotte recruited kinship carers from different groups who were interested in becoming campaign leaders. These leaders learned how to campaign and get there voices heard. This is still growing and still campaigning for change.
