My wife and I are kinship carers for two beautiful amazing children. Though we are just now going through our fight against Social Services ( toughest time of our lives) I felt it would be good for me to write a review though we have no conclusion yet. It occurred to me that there could be carers like us elsewhere who are being put through the same anguish as we are by Social services through this festive Christmas period, so I decided to write this review already so it could be a little help to anybody considering things. We contacted the NUPFC after being advised to do so by another support charity. ( Enza at Kinship Carers Uk). We were not already members ( which we really regret) and we promptly ( though nervously) paid the £1000 to contribute towards help from NUPFC. We’re not wealthy people so we were quite unsure. Over the past week or so we have been in touch with councillors, children’s advocates, a range of solicitors, as well as other professionals and Robin & Sandra from NUPFC. We have to say , though we have not had the result we need yet, we definately feel the £1000 we payed was the best spent money ever. Robin and Sandra have been so amazing. They are the only professionals and individuals who have been here for us and available to us all day every single day. As one can imagine, all other professionals went dark a minute after 5pm and over the weekend; however NUPFC have been working for us and the children, and have been available to help us, to answer our panicked nervous questions and guiding us at all hours of every single day. They have been the quickest to act, quickest to make moves, most supportive and understanding. If I could chose to have one organisation with us I would chose NUPFC, without a doubt. It is my intention, once we come out of this difficult time, to keep my membership and continue contributions as much as possible whether the future has us being carers or not. Thankyou so much NUPFC, specifically Robin and Sandra. You guys are no less than guardian angels.
