SuccessES


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

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.

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

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.
