SuccessES

Babies have freedom to play and explore. The sessions get us out and about.

- PACT Parent Voice

I have been supported through my career, given so many opportunities and different steps.

- Taken from staff survey 2024

It has been wonderful to feel an asset to my community, especially when it is facing such hardship.

- Pantry volunteer

Over the 6 years I’ve been here my life really changed. Doing voluntary work I loved meeting people and making friends FSN is non-judgemental and caring.

- Volunteer survey 2023

We love to play outside. Also painting and playing in the play kitchen. The sessions have helped my child come out of their shell.
