Prisoners' Sunday Resource Hub

We know that things have been very different since the arrival of Covid-19. Whether you are meeting as a small socially-distanced gathering or are streaming your Mass through the power of technology, we know that sharing news about Pact and our work with prisoners  and their families might be a little more complicated than before the pandemic!

With this in mind, we’ve put together some online resources that you can download and use - either as part of your Mass in church or on your webstream. There are no copyright issues at all and you can use them wherever works best for you. There are some videos, some social media graphics, a virtual fundraising guide, some content for your pew sheet or newsletter - all to help people understand how vital our work is. 

Last year, because of your generosity, Prisoners’ Sunday raised over £40,000. We know that times are tough for everyone but we’d really like to surpass that total in 2021, as our services are busier than ever.

At Pact we are doing everything we can to make our working environment as safe and healthy as possible which means that we are mostly working from home.

Once again, thank you for all you do to support Pact, enabling us to bring hope to all those affected by imprisonment.
