THE TONBRIDGE CHILD CONTACT CENTRE 

The Tonbridge Child Contact Centre is nationally accredited by the NACCC. It gives children the opportunity to meet and build relationships with parents that they no longer live with. The Centre focuses on giving children time to spend with their parent in a controlled, relaxed and fun environment, making a potentially hard situation easier.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

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 recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
