Can you help?

PACT encourages everybody's involvement in their local community as an important way of addressing inequality and disadvantage. We believe that bringing all parts of the community closer together to share ideas, support and resources is the best way of achieving lasting change for the better.

You can help PACT and its projects by volunteering your time and skills, by donating money or gifts in kind, or becoming a Friend of a particular project. Whatever your contribution you can play a vital part in building a stronger sense of identity and purpose in your community.

Become a Member of PACT

PACT's membership ensures a direct link with the local community and provides a means for direct involvement in our work. Volunteers and close supporters of PACT projects qualify as Members, whilst many local organisations are Corporate Members. Individual membership is open to anyone who wants to support our work.

There is no set membership fee but we do request a voluntary donation - whether in money or in kind. Members are invited to an Annual General Meeting and Member's Meetings and are sent a regular newsletter.

Become a Friend

Several projects have established Friends schemes as a means of generating support and donations for their work. Alongside PACT membership it is an excellent way of supporting a project which is of particular interest to you.

How to donate

Whether you wish it to help PACT's work in general, or to be earmarked for a specific project, you have several choices when considering how to make a donation.

• Cash donation - paid directly to PACT
• Legacies - we can advise on how to leave money in your will
• Covenants - a commitment to giving for four years or more offers tax advantages which benefit PACT;
• Gift Aid - a tax efficient way of giving which increases the value of any donation over £250.

Become a volunteer

What better way to support local community action than by doing it yourself? If you want to join us as a volunteer just give the Core Office a call and we'll put you in touch with someone who needs your help. OR JOIN US OVER THE NET BY SHARING YOUR IDEAS, EXPERIENCE OR SUGGESTIONS!
