Child Contact Centres help children to maintain contact with the non-resident parent and other family members when a family has separated. The breakdown of a family is often traumatic for all concerned but none more so than the children involved. Relationship breakdown affects all parts of our communities, children affected come from all cultural, ethnic and social economic backgrounds. Child Contact Centres offer their help to all of these children.

Why Volunteer?
Even though it’s not something you will get paid for, the benefits are actually greater than the money itself. Seeing a child run into the arms of a parent is an emotionally uplifting experience that can never be matched by money or fame

What qualities do I need?
Volunteers need to be impartial, caring, tolerant, sensitive, flexible, discreet and reliable. They must always put children’s needs first and not take sides with either parent or any other adults involved in the contact.

How much time will I need to give?
The Centre is open 10am - 12 noon every other Saturday.
Our volunteers are in teams and each team is on duty once every six weeks. New volunteers join a team and are given training shortly after they have started working in the Centre. All volunteers receive ongoing support from their team leaders and / or the Co-ordinator.
