Supports the families of prisoners, those coming out of prison, and prisoners themselves.
Pact seeks to minimise the harm caused by a prison sentence on the offender and the family outside.
This is done via a number of parenting programmes and relationship courses in prisons; by running courses for those who work with families affected by imprisonment; by running prison Visitors’ Centres; running resettlement projects for those leaving prison.

A world of protection and opportunity for children living alone and at risk on the streets.
Railway Children is an international children's charity. We fight for vulnerable children who live alone at risk on the streets, where they suffer abuse and exploitation.
In the UK, society often denies their existence, and in other countries the problem is so prevalent that it has become 'normal'.
They run away or are forced to leave homes where they suffer poverty, violence, abuse and neglect. They find themselves living on the streets because there is nowhere else to go and no one left to turn to. The problems they face on the streets are often even worse than those they endured at home. Every day we fight to change their story.
Railway Children race to reach children as soon as they arrive on the streets and intervene before an abuser can. Our pioneering work enables us to get to street children before the streets get to them.
Simply by completing a donation form, you can choose to support Railway Children, directly from your pay.
