This has been an extremely busy year, with there being developments increasing our reach, visibility and recognition within the field of Kinship Care. We have had several meetings with the Department f Education, which have led to our meeting with the Minister for families and Children, who is keen to have us work more closely with the DFE. We secured our first major contract with another leading kinship care organisation, and are currently delivering the project in Birmingham, soon to be Bath and Bristol. We have grown our networks with eight new families joining the network, we continue to d a large amount of casework and within that advocacy relating to Placement stability schools, housing health, etc. The benefit for families has been to reduce the levels of stress in the household, attending and agreeing plans for children to remain in school. We have conducted two conferences during the year, both leading to increased work opportunities and greater promotion for the organisation. 48 families supported this year 137 professionals trained this year 16 carers training and delivering talks, attending kinship care meeting representing. 4 new volunteers trained
Our stakeholders are our board, carer’s funders, volunteers and wider kinship care community. We have held a pre strategic meeting in October last year, where we meet with an external consultant along with the staff team and the board to navigate, discuss and agree themes for continued work streams. Just last week 22 May we held our second strategic meeting, with board members, staff volunteers and carers, this was a whole day, where all participants were able to contribute and share their visons and experiences, this will help to form our three- year strategy. During our peer support group meetings this too provides a platform to form a view and direction of work necessary as carers will share their thoughts and needs in regards, to support and areas developing through their own lived experience.
