Donating

PACT is a professional agency working on behalf of the (Anglican) Diocese of Oxford in the area of nurturing family life.

Our mission is "to build and strengthen families"

and we do this with practical support, often 1-2-1, and innovative projects, often in collaboration with agencies offering complementary skills.

PACT is a key player in the fields of

adoption, including intercountry and fostering
education for the care sector
housing and the community

and it's views are sought by policy-makers at all levels.

If you'd like to help PACT's vital work, see PACT-volunteering for more information, or contact us with specific questions.

A Lasting Legacy

PACT sustains birth families, but also creates new, “forever” families through adoption and fostering, and educates the professionals who care for them “from creche to care home”.

Much of what we do is supported, directly or indirectly, by national or local Government.
It is because, quite rightly, so much of what we do has ‘strings attached’ — it is for specific projects or contracts, but often with the cash being handed over long after the project or task has been performed — that the agency has a permanent and pressing need for ‘free funds’: that is, donations or fundraising initiatives which are unrestricted in their application.
