Child Contact is a vital weekly initiative run by Emmanuel Church, in partnership with dedicated members of the local community. This compassionate program offers a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment where non-residential parents—those separated from their children due to court rulings—can spend meaningful, supervised time with their children.

​

The sessions are carefully structured and overseen by trained volunteers, ensuring the well-being and emotional security of both the children and the parents. These supervised visits not only maintain vital family bonds but also help build trust, stability, and positive communication in challenging circumstances.

​

What makes Child Contact at Emmanuel especially unique is that it is currently the only free supervised contact centre in Plymouth, making it an essential lifeline for families who might otherwise be unable to afford such services.

 

By providing this service at no cost, Emmanuel Church and its volunteers are meeting a deeply human need, offering dignity, hope, and the chance for healing where it’s needed most.
