The team at Littlehampton Child Contact Centre was delighted to welcome the Mayor of Littlehampton, Councillor Alan Butcher, and Deputy Mayor, Councillor Maralyn May, to their centre recently.
During the visit, the Mayor and Deputy Mayor met with Jackie Roberts, Littlehampton Child Contact Centre Co-ordinator, and the team of dedicated volunteers to learn more about the NACCC-accredited supported sessions provided at the centre.
Jackie Roberts said:
We were proud to welcome the Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Littlehampton to one of our sessions. The centre provides an invaluable service to separated families, and it was a privilege to showcase the support we offer to the local community.
Based within Littlehampton Baptist Church in West Sussex, the centre has been serving the local community for over 17 years, offering a warm, friendly and sociable environment where children can enjoy spending time with non-resident parents and family members after separation.
With two well-equipped family rooms filled with a variety of toys, books, and games suitable for children of all ages, the service helps to build and maintain vital family connections.
The experienced team is supportive, helpful and professional, and a range of leaflets is available offering information, guidance, and signposting to additional support for children and families who use the service.
The centre operates on the first and third Saturday of every month, from 10am to 12pm, with referrals accepted from courts, CAFCASS, solicitors, Children’s Family Services, or via self-referral.
Congratulations to the Littlehampton Child Contact Centre team on your incredible dedication and commitment to supporting children, young people, and families over the past 17 years. We’re delighted that you’ve been able to showcase the fantastic work you’re doing – your efforts continue to make a real difference to the lives of the children and families you support.
