There are many ways in which you can support us in our important wirk with kinship carers and children in kinship care. Here are just a few!
Come and visit us. Meet our staff, volunteers and the children and families we support. We make the best cup of tea ever!
Online – via our website (www.kinshipcareni.com), Paypal (insert web address) or BTMyDonate (insert web address) By Phone – call us to donate by credit/debit card. By Post – please send a cheque made payable to ‘Kinship Care NI Ltd’ to Kinship Care NI, 67 Carlisle Road, L’Derry, BT48 6JL.
Sign up to do something that will stretch you to your limits. Be that a sporting challenge (like a marathon), a walking or biking challenge or something even more adventurous (a skydive?!). Ask your friends and family to sponsor you in aid of Kinship Care NI.
Organise a fundraising event, like a Coffee Morning or a BBQ and invite all your friends and family.

Setting up a donation through your pay is simple. However you are paid - whether monthly, weekly or every four weeks – you can give to Kinship Care NI in a tax effective way through your pay. A donation to Kinship Care NI each pay day will enable us to deliver more programmes and activities to children and young people.

Giving a few pounds to Kinship Care NI via direct debit is a great way to help. Even a small amount per month can make a huge difference to the lives of kinship carers and their families, by paying for essential support and helping us to plan our services knowing we have funds we can rely on.
