SuccessES


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

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

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)

- FSN Volunteer

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