BIRMINGHAM CHILD CONTACT CENTRE

We exist to relieve the needs of children separated from parents and/or other family members through divorce and family breakdown in particular by the provision of a child contact centre to facilitate contact arrangements with non-resident parents and other family members in a safe, secure and neutral location.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
