Mid Ulster Child Contact Centre

Public benefits

The direct benefits flowing from our purposes includes: - we benefit children and families who are divided by family separation - the relief of the emotional impact of separation due to family breakdown - re-establishment of a level of trust between parents / family members - maintenance of contact between users of the centre in a safe and neutral

environment - contact happens safe from risk of harm eg. Domestic abuse, substance misuse The benefits are demonstrated through: - number of families attending - number of families who use the centre and move on to amicable arrangements - anecdotal evidence - quarterly evaluations - feedback from referrers, - research - accreditation from NACCC The only harm the charity trustees have identified as arising from our purposes is that users may become reliant on the service. Our beneficiaries are: - The children, their families and significant others who are experiencing the impact of family breakdown and want to establish contact. - Volunteers There is no private benefit from our purposes.
