Kinship is a non-profit organization based in London, England that supports kinship carers—family members and friends who raise children when parents are unable to. It provides financial, legal, practical and emotional assistance to kinship families, aiming to help them navigate challenging decisions and maintain stability for as long as needed. The charity positions itself as a leading advocate and support network in England and Wales, building local and national communities of kinship care and partnering with service providers, government bodies and other organisations to improve recognition and rights for kinship families. Kinship serves a broad range of carers, focusing on improving access to guidance, resources and a supportive network, while engaging in efforts to influence policy and practice within the sector. Recent activity includes collaborations with academic research bodies and local authorities to co-host joint research and knowledge-sharing events, reflecting its role in connecting practitioners, researchers and carers to advance kinship care initiatives.
