For families affected by imprisonment, the summer break can be a challenging time. It often amplifies the stress and pressure caused by the loss of a loved one. Please support Pact’s work this summer so that we can be there for the people who need us most, when they need us most.

Prison-leavers with strong family ties are 39% less likely to reoffend. We work at the intersection of criminal justice, child and family welfare, mental health wellbeing provision and health and social care. We provide advice and information and also work for the relief of poverty and sickness, and the advancement of education and training opportunities for prisoners, prison leavers, their families and their children.
