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
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received

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
