Cumbria Kinship Care Support
When and where we meet
We meet: Monthly
Location: Both in person in Carlisle and Kendal, and online on Teams
Please email SGOsupport@cumbria.gov.uk for details
Who we are
We run informal coffee mornings for kinship carers to meet other carers in similar situations to themselves for friendship, advice and support. These alternate between Kendal and Carlisle but we are also looking at other areas of Cumbria to run the coffee mornings.
We also provide training on different topics at our monthly online support groups on Teams. Recent groups have covered topics such as pupil premium, foetal alcohol syndrome, domestic abuse and self harm. Suggestions are welcome, especially if there is a topic that kinship carers would like to be covered.
We have a wide variety of support services for kinship carers. If you need any support and live in Cumbria, please contact us on SGOsupport@cumbria.gov.uk.
Please note – Children don’t usually attend the group. We ask that carers let us know if they need to bring children as we may be able to allow for this.
