BRIDGE CHILD CONTACT CENTRE

Walker Street child contact centre offers a facility where children of separated families can enjoy contact in a neutral meeting place with one or both parents, and sometimes other family members, in a safe and comfortable environment.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board has little diversity in terms of age
Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
