Glamorgan House Family Development Centre Fundraiser

A fundraiser with a difference this evening as I called in at Swan Gardens, a Family Housing Association retirement complex for Chinese citizens. They were raising money for Glamorgan House Family Development Centre.

Glamorgan House Family Development Centre is an accredited children’s contact centre, providing various services to vulnerable families undergoing some of the most distressed periods in their lives. They cater to all circumstances by offering three different types of contact; supported, supervised and hand over services.

Working closely with mediation services, they encourage improved relations between the parents and to focus on the best interests of their child. In the midst of separation, divorce, family conflict and abuse, they believe it is vital to us as a children’s centre to deliver safety, neutrality, support and a relaxed atmosphere.

This is the only supervised contact centre between here and Cardiff and they rely on volunteers and donations to keep running. I was present as an Assembly Member, when it opened and it continues to do vital work.

It was a fun evening involving a full Chinese buffet, a raffle and even a game of bingo. Hopefully a lot of money was raised.
