Child contact centres (also called family time centres) are safe, neutral places children from separated families can spend time with a parent, sibling or relative they do not live with. It is hoped through this support the children can retain important bonds with both parents, grandparents or extended family members following a family breakdown. Ideally, building trust, confidence, and positive routines over time so families can eventually move to regular self-managed contact outside the centre.
We are based in the Hall of Norwich Central Baptist Church and the contact sessions are held on alternate Saturdays throughout the year.
The contact centre is accredited by the National Association of Child Contact Centres. It is a registered charity with a management committee and staffed by a coordinator and team of volunteers.
Many families who use the St Mary's Contact Centre are referred to us via; Social Workers, Solicitors, Cafcass, Family Mediators & the Court System, but it is also possible to self refer.
