Bristol Child Contact Centre
Important Capacity Update October 2024
We are sorry to inform that we are currently at capacity and cannot accept any new families for Supported Family Time at the Bristol Child Contact Centre.
We are unlikely to have new spaces available until the New Year. You can still apply through the standard referral process and you will be placed on the waiting list.

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.
Bristol Child Contact Centre, in Henleaze, Bristol, is a neutral, safe and impartial place where the children can meet with their parents (or other relatives) they no longer live with after relationship breakdown. Child Contact Centres can provide different level of support during the contact. BCCC offers Supported Contact Service only, NOT Supervised. This means that family contacts are monitored on a group basis and not with one-to-one supervision. Families can use our service also as a hand over point.
There is no charge to parents for this service after the initial £50 referral fee.
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. For my son, it was a lifeline to his own son – both of whom love each other very much.’
