Another fantastic result this morning as a great aunt caring for her two nephews receives Guardians Allowance at £130.80 every 4 weeks and a backdated payment of £400.00. Another two children in kinship care taken out of poverty, but we are slightly disappointed that the aunt missed out on 5 years of backdated money (£8,268) because Guardians Allowance is the best kept secret in Northern Ireland (but not any more). Well done Michelle, another fantastic result. Our Caring for Kin Project is funded by Big Lottery Fund NI
