Pact Faith in Action

The Eleventh Station: Jesus is Nailed to the Cross. Join us in praying the Stations of the Cross with prisoners and their families. prisonadvice.org.uk/faith/resource…

Today’s funding boost for women’s services from @MoJGovUK is a vital step toward a fairer, more effective justice system. Most women who end up in prison are survivors of trauma, abuse and poverty — not people who cause a threat to broader society. Read the full response from our CEO @AndyKeenDowns 👇 prisonadvice.org.uk/latest/news/fu…

This week, we pray for those who are or have been victims and survivors of crime. We know being a victim and survivor of crime brings many challenges.

Thrilled to announce two NEW acts for Pact’s Paul Whitehouse & Friends All‑Star Comedy Gala @londonpalladium: @JohnBishop100 and @joelycett! 🎉 All in support of families affected by imprisonment. 💜 Don’t miss out—get tickets now: lwtheatres.co.uk/whats-on/paul-…

We were struck by this mum's quote in today's @guardian. We all need love. When people in prison are left without, it is so much harder for them to hope for a better life after prison, and to change. This is the heart of Pact's work. When we support families to stay connected, we support futures.

The Sixth Station. Veronica Wipes The Face of Jesus. We all need to be treated with kindness and be reminded that we all have an intrinsic dignity. You can pray the Way of the Cross with prisoners and their families here: prisonadvice.org.uk/faith/resource… #lent #stationsofthecross

One way that you can put your faith into action and support Pact's work is by volunteering with us. Whether in the visitor centre or elsewhere, our volunteers support those in prison and their families and loved ones. To find out more prisonadvice.org.uk/volunteer/

This week, we pray for those who work or volunteer in the Criminal Justice System. We particularly pray for those working in chaplaincy who support those in prison. Please join us as we pray. #lent #prayer

Today we reflect on the Fourth Station of The Cross. Jesus Meets His Mother. Prison sentences impact family relationships. The full set of the Stations of the Cross are here: prisonadvice.org.uk/faith/resource… #lent #StationsoftheCross #familyrelationships

A few weeks ago, Fran made someone's day by buying them an ice cream. But Fran makes a lot of people's days. She volunteers as a prison visitor for Pact, going to see people who otherwise wouldn't get visitors. She says, "Volunteering with Pact has given me something I didn’t even know I was missing. I feel like I’m doing something that truly matters, something that makes someone’s life a little less miserable. I even won Volunteer of the Year, which still makes me laugh, because in my mind all I do is talk to people." 🤲 Read Fran's story: pact1.link/frans-story 🔎 We're looking for more amazing volunteers like Fran. Could that be you? Find out more on our website, or drop us an email to volunteering@prisonadvice.org.uk.

In our prayers this week will be the families and children of prisoners. We know having a loved one in prison can be an extremely challenging experience, especially for children. Please join us as we pray throughout the week.

Today, we share the experience from the Third Station of the Cross. Jesus Falls the First Time. To pray the stations as part of your Lent journey, you can download the full text at prisonadvice.org.uk/faith/resource… #lent #StationsoftheCross

Each week in Lent, we are going to pray for a particularly group of people in the Criminal Justice System. This week, we are going to pray for all those in prison. Please do join us in prayer this week. We're going to start with sharing Archbishop Richard Moth's prayer.

On each Friday in Lent, we will be sharing the experience of Prisoners and their families taken from our Stations of the Cross. If you'd like to pray the full stations, you can find the full text here: prisonadvice.org.uk/faith/resource… The First Station: Jesus is condemned to death.

Today is Ash Wednesday. For the next six weeks, we journey together to prepare for Lent. In this time of waiting, we remember all those who are waiting including prisoners and their families. We pray, we give and we put our faith into action. prisonadvice.org.uk/donate/

Today we're at the Annual Civic Mass at @LiverpoolMet. Pleased to be here to pray with representatives for the city of Liverpool and Merseyside.
