PACT House located in Stanley, Co Durham is a hub for community access and to help to reduce issues such as isolation as well as supporting people with wellbeing and mental health problems, as well as giving support to local people suffering from poverty and the cost-of-living crisis. This support comes from food packs and through low cost and free meals in the community café. The local community also has access to services such as internet, training, and information that people may need to improve their quality of life.
Over the last 43 years of being in business we have dedicated ourselves to giving work opportunities and training to young people through work experience, apprenticeship schemes as well as school and college work placements.
