November 16th and 23rd 2007 - PACT House Open Days.
These were a great success as a few of the Ward staff and some PACT families and their friends came to have a look around the PACT House together with someone from CHICS which is PACT's equivalent at Alderhey Hospital. We were also pleased to welcome a representative from Westfield Health in Sheffield and we are happy to announce that they were so impressed with the good work that PACT does that they have sent us a large donation so that we can "keep up the good work".

March 1st 2008 - The PACT Charity Ball
We made the fantastic sum of £21,400 from this year's Ball at the Cutler's Hall in Sheffield which is great news. Plans are afoot for next year's Ball which will be held in May this time.

April 26th and 27th 2008 - Open Garden Event.
Following the success of last year's event Chris and Keith Littlewood again opened their garden for PACT on the 26th and 27th April. Delicious homemade baking was provided by PACT families and friends and proved very popular. The garden was beautiful and we were lucky to have good weather on both days. The total amount raised was £1,008.10 which is fantastic.

The sponsored motorbike ride from Lands End to John O'Groats by one of our PACT dads Jonathan Bristowe and his colleague has raised over £3,500 so far.
