Supporter of the month

We are celebrating one person, family or group each month that has gone above and beyond to support PACT’s work. From running a marathon to giving up their time to volunteer at PACT, each ‘supporter of the month’ pictured here has used their time, energy and resources to help us continue the work that we do.
