Who we are and what we do
Grandparents Plus is the national charity which champions the vital role of grandparents and the wider family in children's lives - especially when they take on the caring role in difficult family circumstances. We work to support grandparents and the wider family by:
- Campaigning for change so that their contribution to children's wellbeing and care is valued and understood
- Providing evidence, policy solutions and training so that they get the services and support they need to help children thrive
- Building alliances and networks so that they can have a voice and support each other, especially when they become children's full-time carers.
