SuccessES


It's made a big difference. My confidence and self-esteem have improved. I've made lots of friends - especially with other volunteers. (Taken from the 2022 volunteer survey)

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

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.

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