Harpenden Child Contact Centre is a local Charity facilitating contact between children and their parents or other adults from whom they are separated following a family breakdown. Usually the Centre opens on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month providing facilities for up to 18 children, in All Saints Church Hall in Station Road Harpenden. It is really worthwhile and much needed, and very rewarding for all those involved with it - to see a child reunited with his or her parents and to help families rebuild trust is at the core of what we do.

One way of getting involved with HCCC is to become a trustee and help in the management of the Centre. HCCC is run by a small management committee of between 6 to 9 trustees, (the day-to-day organisation of the Centre is carried out by two Co-ordinators who also are committee members). We welcome applications for new trustees, who are typically local people with an interest in supporting families but come from a variety of backgrounds. Usually the Trustees meet four times a year and attend an AGM, although during the pandemic it has met more frequently to discuss whether and when to open.

I am therefore contacting you via Mums' Guide to Harpenden, to ask if you would like to be a trustee of HCCC. Of course you do not need to be a mum to be a trustee!

If you are interested in being a trustee or finding out more about it, please contact me, Janet Cameron, or our Chairman Brigid Brennan, to discuss this opportunity in more detail before you decide to make a formal application.
