Kinship Care NI Launch New Grandfamilies Training Programme

by

Kinship Care NI have launched a new Grandfamilies Training Programme for grandparents raising their grandchildren and older kinship carers in the Antrim, Magherafelt, Cookstown and Draperstown areas.

A range of FREE training courses are up and running for kinship carers in the Antrim and Mid Ulster area.  Some of the training programmes will be delivered by Kinship Care NI while others will be delivered by other organisations, such as the Nexus Institute, the North Regional College, CMAC Academy, the Northern Trust and Parenting NI.  These organisations have a w

ealth of experience delivering training and many of their courses are accreditated.

Caring for Kin Logo

This is a great opportunity for kinship carers to meet other carers from their area, make new friends and most importantly to have some fun.
