PACT is a respectful and supportive place to volunteer. We work to find forever families to adopt children currently in care.
We hold adoption information events once a month in central Reading and we are looking for volunteers to join our existing small team of events volunteers.
We are looking for volunteers to help set up the room, welcome prospective adopters and put them at their ease, help with refreshments, support the leading social workers to make the events as warm, professional and smooth as possible and then tidy away at the end of the evening.
We are also looking for volunteers who are happy to help set up and support on publicity stalls along with PACT staff.
