PONTYPRIDD CHILDREN'S CONTACT CENTRE 

Pontypridd Children's Contact Centre aims to alleviate the hardship and distress that children feel after an irretrievable family break up. The centre provides a neutral meeting place for children and their non-resident family members.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • 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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years
Established: 12 years
(14 years as a company)
