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.

We are grateful for the current support of:

The Big Lottery Fund
The Dulverton Trust
The Esmée Fairbairn Foundation
The Mulberry Trust
Porticus UK

Grandparents Plus was founded  by Jean Stogdon and Lord Young of Dartington.  You can find out more about Lord Young's work here.
