@Mellor76 @davechannel @Mellor76 thank you for raising awareness of what it feels like to be old. Our oldest kinship care is an 83 year old grandmother raising her granddaughter with complex needs with no support. This is the reality of many grandparents who step up to raise their grandchildren. ❤️

Just wanted to say thank you for all your comments on “Will and Ralf should know better” on @davechannel , We wanted to make a show that was honest and open to experiences that would test us in different ways! Hopefully we will be back for series 2 next year! 😊👍🏻

@Mellor76 @davechannel Sorry for the typo should say 83 year old grandmother

We love Elijah so much!! This super-star has written our 2024 kinship panto with @kinshipca. We cannot wait to get going this Thursday with our first rehearsal with Elijah and @ashlowes 💕💕

It’s #KinshipCareWeek 🎉 again, marking 1 year since 'Kinship Kids'! A beautiful project done in partnership w/ @kinshipca, @ashlowes, @PaigeTemperley & @JosieBrookes , where kinship families and children told their stories of kinship care in the form of music & illustrations 💞

We’re super proud of this project and can’t wait to continue to work on our annual Kinship Panto with @kinshipca, happening this Christmas! 📺 Watch the full video here: youtube.com/watch?v=17PxTT…

Thank you sincerely to @PGLDurham for supporting us once again. sunderlandecho.com/news/durham-fr…

Happy kinship care week to all those wonderful kinship families out there. Please listen to our gorgeous kinship kids song which is available to purchase on download ❤️ wemakeculture.bandcamp.com/track/kinship-…

We are struggling to raise enough funds to create our kinship panto this year. This means a great deal to our kinship children and the benefit to them from being involved in it's creation and performance is immense. Please donate, sharing or both. gofund.me/22b0bb86

@redskycharity Very sad to hear of Michael's passing. My husband and I had known Michael for many years although not in close contact. He was a diamond a true gent. He touched the lives of many people. He will be truly missed. Our thoughts are with Sharon and his family at this difficult time x

We’re saddened to hear of the sad news this morning, one of our biggest and long term friends of Red Sky Foundation has left us all broken hearted. The world has lost a true gentleman. Rest easy and fly high Michael Downey Jnr you were definitely the best of the best. 💔🫶

How exciting we've joined forces with @SunderlandDogs for a charity fund raiser evening. Tickets cost £4 (includes your race card). The more tickets we sell the more chance we have of winning an extra donation. To order tickets Please email morethangrandparents@gmail.com

@ElaineNvr Thank you to @Masonic_Charity and to Queen Street Masonic Hall for your support and hospitality. We are always made to feel very welcome and our carers feel at home in your beautiful building ❤️

Another wonderful day spent with @ElaineNvr and Gail Humphrey of preferred future NVR exploring self care with our kinship carers. Lots of time spent considering what self care means for them, what their window of tolerance may look like and strategies to help. ❤️

What a fabulous time we've had with our kinship families at our holiday activity camp in partnership with @ActiveFamNE thanks to @Sport_England for funding our work and helping us to keep our families moving, improving health, reduce falls and keeping families together for longer
