This month, we’re delighted to celebrate the Reading Minster team and volunteers as our Supporter of the Month.
For many years, Reading Minster has played an important role in supporting PACT’s work, helping to create opportunities for connection and community. From hosting our annual carol concert and supporting fundraising appeals, to providing welcoming community spaces, the Minster team has been a valued partner.
Several women supported by Alana House regularly attend the Minster’s community groups, including Craft @ the Minster, Stitch and Natter and Tuesday Together, where they can take part in creative activities, build friendships and enjoy time in a warm, supportive environment. The Minster has also hosted PACT’s annual International Women’s Day services and continues to champion PACT’s work across the wider community.
This Christmas, the Minster is once again demonstrating its generosity by donating all collections received from the week of 29th November to PACT’s Christmas appeal, helping to make an even greater difference to the lives of those we support.
A special mention goes to Reverent Judith Sumner, Reading Minster’s Associate Minister and one of PACT’s trustees, who has been instrumental in the success of our longstanding partnership.
The Reading Minster team said: “PACT, we recognise the care and compassion you offer in being alongside people, often through the most challenging times in life. You offer hope, both for those looking to build new families and those needing support following trauma and abuse. We are so proud of our work with you over the years and thank you for all that you do.”
Sam Ward, PACT’s Events and Engagement Manager, said: “The team at Reading Minster has been an incredible supporter of PACT for many years, in many ways. From opening their doors to women supported by Alana House, to hosting events and championing our fundraising, there is a real sense of kindness, generosity and community spirit at the heart of everything they do. We’re especially excited to be returning for Magical Christmas at the Minster on 5th December, and we couldn’t think of more deserving PACT superstars this month!”
