Parenting shouldn’t end
when relationships do.
More than a million children have no contact whatsoever with one of their parents after separation. Unfortunately, some children experience behavioural issues including antisocial behaviour, distress, unhappiness, and both physical and emotional problems.
NACCC is the only charity in the UK dedicated to solving this problem by providing safe spaces where children can meet the parents they don’t live with. We oversee around 350 contact centres across the UK, run by a network of nearly 4,000 volunteers.
The Bury St Edmunds Child Contact Centre offers supported contact – that means it is suitable for families where no significant risk to the child or those around the child have been identified. We welcome referrals made through a solicitor, CAFCASS officer, family mediator or social worker. We also accept self-referrals from parents who have not been to Court or mediation, assuming supported rather than supervised is appropriate.
Feedback from some of our families
‘Thank you all for your genuine care and time. It means a lot in so many ways.’
‘Many, many thanks for all the time and effort you volunteers put into keeping the Contact Centre going. Your efforts are appreciated.’
‘We wanted to thank all the volunteers who make it possible for the Contact Centre to exist in Loughborough. For my son, it was a lifeline to his own son – both of whom love each other very much.’
