Dear PACT Families,
Its been really lovely to meet some of you over the last few weeks and I look forward to continuing this moving forward.
As the summer holidays are approaching I am wanting to know if there would be interest and uptake if PACT were to put on activities.
We are also planning towards the rest of the year so am taking the opportunity to ask about future activities offered too.
This is for families with Children and Young people age 0-18
another survey will follow in coming weeks for all over 18 years.
best wishes,
Hannah
