Kin Together Support Groups

Home / Kin Together Support Groups

We run a number of Support Groups for kinship carers in areas throughout Northern Ireland.   Our Kin Together Support Groups provide a great opportunity to kinship carers to meet other carers from their areas, to share experiences and develop new friendships.   Support Groups meet on a fortnightly and monthly basis and there are lots of fun activities for carers to get involved in.  Children are welcome too and refreshments are provided.   To find a Support Group in your area, click on the map below.  You can also contact our Helpline free on 0800 022 3129 for more information.
