Private Visits
The charity arranges private visits for families who wish to bring their host children on additional visits. These can be both for children currently on the programme or children who have finished the programme up to the age of 18. After the age of 18 the charity may be able to help in the facilitating of visas and arrangements.
Private visits are usually for a duration of 2 weeks in August with the children flying into both Manchester and Gatwick airports. There is an interpreter accompanying each group who will be located in both the north and south of the country in case of any problem. There are no organised activities for private visits and the children remain with their host families for the duration of the visit.
It may be possible to organise a longer 4 week visit at different times in the summer and this is looked at on a case by case basis by the private visit coordinator. The charity may organise a 2 week Christmas private visit although this visit is reviewed annually.
Details and paperwork for the summer visits are distributed to all coordinators in January and for the Christmas visits in August. Anyone who is no longer in direct contact with a group should contact the private visit coordinator, Cecilia Hammond, directly and is also recommended to join the Facebook page: FOCC Private Visits.
