HARPENDEN CHILD CONTACT CENTRE

We provide a safe, friendly and neutral venue where children of separated families can spend time with one or both parents, and sometime other family members.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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