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.
Welcome to the Leicester Family Contact Centre (LFCC) website. The Centre is an independent, volunteer-run charity, seeking to provide a safe, neutral venue where children from separated families can meet with the parent with whom they no longer live, or other family members. LFCC offers supported contact – that means it is suitable for families where no significant risk to the child or those around the child have been identified. This is different to a supervised contact centre. We welcome referrals made through a solicitor, CAFCASS officer, family mediator or social worker.
Our Address: St Martins House, 7 Peacock Lane, Leicester LE1 5PX.
Feedback from some of our families
‘I would like to thank you guys for your time and the opportunity to have fun with my children. Please keep this contact centre as Leicester needs it, as it unites broken families.’
‘Thank you and the rest of your team for the service you provide, it provides an invaluable lifeline for father’s like me that want contact with their kids and is very much appreciated.’
‘Many, many thanks for all the time and effort you volunteers put into keeping the Contact Centre going. Your efforts are appreciated.’
‘I just wanted to update and thank you as I don’t think this much progress would have been made without the help of the contact center.’
‘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.’
‘Thank you all very much for making the experience as nice as humanly possible given the circumstances and in the nicest possible way, I hope I won’t have to come back, however you guys really do make a difference as just seeing them for an hour helped keep going.’
