Knock Child Contact Centre was established in 1999. We are a voluntary organisation overseen by a Board of Directors, and the centre is run by a Coordinator , Team Leaders and trained volunteers. Staff and Volunteers are impartial and sensitive to the needs of the families using the service. Knock Child Contact Centre provides supported contact to families.
Our Child Contact Centre is dedicated to providing a safe, supportive, and neutral environment where children can build and maintain positive relationships with their separated parents. We prioritize the well-being and happiness of every child, fostering meaningful connections while ensuring their emotional and physical safety. Through care, respect, and understanding, we aim to create a space where families can thrive despite challenging circumstances, always keeping the best interests of the child at the heart of what we do.
We are currently located in Orangefield Presbyterian Church, where we are renting rooms from July 2024. We have made the temporary move due to building work taking place in our previous location. The new location is based at 464 Castlereagh Road, Belfast.
