At Families in Harmony, we envision a world where kinship caregivers are empowered, supported, and celebrated as pillars of strength within their families and communities.
The emphasis of our work rests primarily with the under-represented voice of Black kinship carers who consist of the largest and growing group of kinship carers in the U.K.
We hope for a future where every child in need finds a loving and culturally affirming home, within their extended family, preserving their identity while strengthening the cultural connections to their roots and heritage.
Our mission is fuelled by the belief that the bonds of kinship are powerful, and that every child has the right to grow up in an environment that cherishes their heritage, nurtures their potential, and honours their unique journey.
We are committed to fostering resilience, promoting emotional well-being, and celebrating the diverse identities of the children and families we serve.
As an organisation, we recognise the impact of racism and inequality on Black African and Caribbean families. We are dedicated to amplifying Black voices, challenging systemic barriers, and co-creating culturally aligned services that are fit for purpose.
Our commitment to anti-racism means we will work tirelessly to ensure that our practices, policies, and partnerships actively promote equity, belonging, and justice for every child and family within our care.
Kinship Care is a journey which begins when a child is no longer able to live with their birth parents, usually because their parents are not able to care for them.
The person stepping in to raise the child is known as a “Kinship Carer”, this could be a grandparent, aunt, sibling or even a family friend.
Nearly a third (32%) of the children growing up in households headed by a relative in 2011 were non-white, Kinship children were 1.7 times more likely to be non-white compared with children growing up with at least one parent.
