TRUSTEES REPORT 2021
PACT House continues to grow, finding it’s place in the heart of the community as the ‘go to’ place for help and support of any kind.
Food poverty continues to be a huge issue, running alongside problems with Universal Credit and other benefits issues and low incomes. Fuel poverty has now become an increasing worry for many people who access our building and support routes.
PACT has also diversified into delivering accredited and informal training, this has both addressed the needs of people facing barriers to more remote / harder to access centres as well as brought in income to the building.
Our delivery reaches the whole community, providing an increasing amount of clubs and activities, some purely recreational, some addressing addiction, sexuality, mental health and social interaction.
We have provided 2 free community meals each week, our log running Wednesday night one with weekends added initially was a winter warmers project offering hot food on Saturdays.
Free internet access, computer use and printing is still proving well used by all areas of the community as well as job searchers and young people doing homework.
We have broadened our support for those stuggling with poor mental health, created the Think Positive Project and offer well-being, alternative, talking therapies and social / peer group sessions.
Our links with the DWP, Socal Services and One Point have strengthed and we operate a robust service that backs up their clients in circumstances they are unable to meet
