SuccessES

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

- Pantry volunteer

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

- Taken from staff survey 2024

I enjoy coming to PACT, meeting other parents so we can share our experiences, it helps us get out of the house too. The staff are kind and knowledgeable. When my baby is old enough for nursery I would like to volunteer to help run a group.

- PACT parent

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

- PACT Parent Voice
