Grandparents Plus is the national charity (England and Wales) 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

• Advising and supporting grandparents and wider family members by ensuring that they have access to professional advice and information, can have a voice and help each other, especially when they are caring for children who are not living with their parents.

 

We are grateful for the current support of:
The Big Lottery Fund
Comic Relief
The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation
The Dulverton Trust
The Esmée Fairbairn Foundation
The John Ellerman Foundation
The Mulberry Trust
