3 of us met at Battersea arts centre and worked out where we were all heading

once we figured it out we all headed off to deliver the ingredients needed for the virtual cooking class

The recipients will be kinship carers and the children they care for- kinship carers are family members or connected people who step in to care for children who would otherwise enter the care system permanently, or be adopted outside of the family. This means lots of grandparents but also aunties, godparents, sometimes adult siblings. They care for often traumatised children and have to manage very complex family dynamics and often loss of income and housing problems as a result of their caring role. They are the forgotten carers of this country and don't get any of the support that foster carers and adopters get so this opportunity will mean a lot.
