Last was Kinship Care Week with @kinshipcareireland.bsky.social 🧡

A photo call was held outside the Dáil, a free information webinar, and full day event in the Richmond Centre.

Thank you to everyone, especially the Kinship families who helped us shine a light on Kinship Care

#KinshipCareCounts

Congratulations from KHF to Kinship Care Ireland on the launch of a phenomenal toolkit & other wonderful resources for kinship carer peer groups, 14 of which have already developed within family resource centres. Hugely powerful work by all kinship carers. #KinshipCareCounts #globalkinshipcareweek

🧡Happy Kinship Care Week 2026🧡

Kinship Care is when children are raised by relatives or
close family friends. This week highlights the vital,
often overlooked role of kinship care that
prevents from 10,000 to 12,000 children across Ireland
from entering State Care.
