Guest speaker from the PACT charity at All Saints Parish Communion service this Sunday

This Sunday 13th October All Saints Church will welcome a guest speaker at the 9.30am Parish Communion service. Linda Reid is from the charity Parents and Children Together (PACT). PACT exists to build and strengthen families and to help families to be able to make the very best life for their children, especially those from more vulnerable backgrounds. PACT is a professional agency set up in 1911 as the social welfare arm of the Anglican Diocese of Oxford.

Today PACT continues to be supported by the Oxford Diocese in the area of nurturing family life. In 2011, PACT celebrated 100 years of caring. PACT has a long history of providing adoption and fostering services to couples and single people. In 2012, the agency placed more than 100 children with their forever families.

All Saints Church prays for and donates regularly to the work of PACT. David, the Rector, said, "I'd like to see All Saints Church becoming a key partner parish in the work of PACT. I'm looking for greater awareness across our church membership of the work of PACT for the benefit of vulnerable children and the building of families in the Thames Valley region". 

All Saint parish's relationship with PACT was deepened some years ago when the Eric Rand legacy funded a  dedicated PACT Family Support Worker in the All Saints Primary School.
