Kindred is a specialist charity that exists to support the families of children with complex needs. The Kindred team at the RHCYP is on hand for families who have a child in the hospital, either through ill health or trauma.
We understand that looking after a child in the hospital can greatly impact family life, emotionally and practically: we can help by offering emotional support, information, and advocacy to parents and carers. We can assist you with:
- Funding applications (including travel costs).
- Advocacy (including meetings with hospital staff).
- Benefits such as Disability Living Allowance.
- Liaising with professionals involved in your child’s care.
- Access to counselling.
Most importantly, we are here as an independent listening ear. With years of experience, we’ve learned that just having someone to talk to can help a great deal. Get in touch on 0800 031 5793 or visit kindred online.
