Welcome to Darlington Kinship Connect
Created by Kinship Carers, for Kinship Carers in Darlington and surrounding areas
You’ve stepped up. Now let us step in to support you. Kinship care is when a child is raised by someone they already know and trust — a grandparent, sibling, relative, or friend.
It takes love, strength, and courage.
At Darlington Kinship Connect, we believe kinship families deserve recognition, respect, and support.
Here you’ll find: Friendly groups where carers connect and share experiences activities for children to feel included and supported, and advice from people who understand the unique challenges of kinship care.
This is a place to belong. Welcome to your community.
We are a dedicated support network designed to assist kinship carers in Darlington and surrounding areas. The initiative aims to provide practical assistance, emotional support, and advocacy to individuals stepping into the role of kinship carers.
