- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate because there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of Pact to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “The financial year 2024-25 saw difficult decisions, including staff redundancies, due to record inflation and increased charity costs by over £200,000 from April 2025 due to national insurance changes.”
- “Pact delivered one-to-one casework to 3,168 people in prison, achieving 5,558 positive outcomes including significant improvements in family and relationships, mental health, and attitudes/behaviours.”
- “In April 2024, the NHS London region team and healthcare providers formally committed to a new 'Family and Carers' Charter' for Health and Justice Services, co-produced by Pact.”
- “In November 2024, Pact launched its online Guide to Prison Healthcare, offering a vital resource for families supporting loved ones with physical or mental health needs in prison.”
- “The charity supported 1,326 individuals in parenting, relationship, and family learning courses, achieving a 98% completion rate and 95% satisfaction rate.”
- “Pact provided 596 emergency welfare grants totalling £116,597, supporting people leaving prison and prisoners' children/families in immediate hardship; overall demand increased by 43% since 2021-22.”
- “Pact's volunteers contributed over 96,866 hours, a 33% increase from the prior year, with peer-delivered support hours surging from 29,283 to 49,873.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
