Today in #VolunteersWeek, we're putting a spotlight on some of our volunteering statistics. Did you know: 63,000 hours is equivalent to 2,625 days or more than 7 years? Wow!
Our fantastic volunteer and social work placement student Tony from the @PactCymru family service at @HMPSwansea tells us what volunteering means for him #VolunteersWeek2020

Happy #VolunteersWeek2020 to our @PactCymru Pact Volunteers!
Happy #VolunteersWeek to all of our amazing volunteers! We know many of you can't volunteer right now but we're so grateful for everything you have done - and will do - for Pact. That's why we've recorded a special video message to say #ThankYouVolunteers youtu.be/WAop9OCQ2-I

Great to hear the men @HMPCardiff are making use of our writing packs, big thanks to the staff who made sure they got to those who need them
Replying to @PactCymru
@PactCymru have gifted 'Writing Home' packs to support the men in writing to their families. The men at HMP Cardiff have received the packs today and we're already hearing great feedback! Thank you @PactCymru
