A Foundations branded orange and oatmeal graphic displaying a quote from Donna Molloy, Foundations' Deputy Chief Executive. On the left hand side, the quote reads: "Despite the important role they play, there remains a lack of high-quality UK evidence on how best to support kinship carers. By working closely with delivery partners to strengthen the evidence on what works for kinship families, we can help ensure kinship carers and their children get the support they need." On the right hand side is an image of Donna, which shows her with shoulder length brown hair worn in a side parting. She has green eyes and light skin and is wearing a coral lipstick, and a black blazer.
