Reasons to be cheerful at PACT

Diocesan charity Parents And Children Together (PACT) has two very definite reasons to be cheerful this month!

For a start, it has been able to secure some high-powered commercial sponsorship for its Midsummer Ball at Blenheim Palace on 17 June. Success-Motivation International (SMI) of Sutton Courtenay deals in personal and professional development and has a particular interest in family motivation programmes for children and parents. MD John Harris says : ‘Due to the nature of our business, we are fortunate enough to be in a position to offer practical assistance in the community. Our biggest challenge was to find the charity that would benefit the most and when we read about the activities of PACT it became apparent that we could offer something of value to their Housing and Community activities’. PACT is delighted to have the support of SMI and hopes that having this prestigious company on board will act as leverage to further commercial organisations around Berks, Bucks and Oxon to use the Midsummer Ball as a corporate hospitality opportunity. Enquiries for both the sponsors' package and personal tickets can be made to 0118 938 7600.

The second piece of news from PACT is the official opening of the Didcot Family Centre at Hillary Drive in Didcot. PACT's community partners, clients and staff came together to raise a glass to the latest example of PACT fulfilling its mission to meet need where it is found around the Diocese and ‘to build and strengthen families’.
