DIOCESE OF CHICHESTER MOTHERS’ UNION
Contact Centres
Mothers' Union run two Contact Centres, one in Eastbourne and one in Worthing.
We are here so that children living with one parent can meet and spend time with their other parent. We provide a safe and neutral place for them to do so when the parents are not willing to meet or arrange their own contact. Hopefully, after meeting in our 
venues for a while an atmosphere of trust can be established and often the couples can go on to arrange outside contact themselves. We however perform an often vital bridge for this to happen. The centres are run by trained volunteers who want to make it a pleasant morning for everyone involved.
At Eastbourne sessions are held on the lst and 3rd Saturday of each month from 10.3-0am - 1.00pm
What to we provide? - A room with toys and games and a separate waiting room. Tea, coffee and cold drinks are available.
Do you have to meeting your former partner? - No - we arrange separate arrival and departure times for both parties.
At Worthing this is a joint project with the Salvation Army and the sessions run from 10.00am - 1.00pm once a fortnight
What do we provide? Downstairs is a coffee bar with tables and chairs and toys for the children. Refreshments are available at reasonable prices, and there is a further large playroom upstairs.
Do you have to meet your former partner? No - there is a separate entrance and waiting room for the children (and their carer)coming to meet their parents.
How much does it cost? - The service is free at both Centres but donations are always welcome
If you would like to know how these visits are arranged please contact us by telephone, e-mail or post
