Closed petition Increase support for grandparents who are sole carers for grandchildren

Closed on

We want grandparents who are sole carers for grandchildren to receive the same financial support as foster carers, to help them look after these children.

We believe the current situation is unfair to grandparents and the grandchildren they care for.
