If you are an aunt, uncle or grandparent who is responsible for the full time care of a child in your family then Kilmarnock Kinship want you to know they are here to help.

The group has just been awarded nearly £10,000 in lottery funding to raise more awareness of the support they offer to carers.

They have used some of the cash to start a youth group for kinship kids.

Chairperson Nacy Kerrshaw spoke to our reporter Natalie Crawford...

They meet on a Thursday, every 2 weeks, in the Y.M.C.A. in Kilmarnock between 1pm and 2.30pm. All new members are welcome and children welcome during school holidays.
