Prison Advice & Care Trust

At pact, we work with hundreds of thousands of families separated by the imprisonment of a family member. These are the "forgotten families", serving a silent sentence while their loved one is locked up. Please spare a thought for prisoners' families during National Family Week.

PACT is the leading charity providing practical services for prisoners' families at prisons across the UK. All our work is geared towards one aim: keeping families together, even while one family member is serving a sentence. All the evidence shows that if family bonds are maintained while someone is in prison, the chances of this person re-offending are reduced. So we are delighted to support and celebrate National Family Week. For more information about our practical work with prisoners' families, visit our website.
