P.A.C.T: SUPPORTING CHILDREN WITH AUTISM
​Who Are We?
PACT (Phoenix Autism Centre Tonbridge) exists solely to help children with a diagnosis of autism at the Phoenix Centre attached to Cage Green School and at Cage Green School itself.
What Do We Do?
We provide specialist equipment and facilities beyond what the school and the Local Authority can provide. Click here to see past projects.
​Outreach
We are a group of parents who, through the experiences with our own children have acquired a wide knowledge of autism and its associated conditions. In order to share this information, we run periodic talks on autism related subjects with expert speakers. Click here for the latest list of talks.
How Can You Help?
Of course, donations make a great difference. It isn't just donations though; are you a local business looking to help the community? Please get in touch. A specialist that works with autistic children, then of course we are happy to hear from you.
If you do want to give a donation, then thank you.
​​How will we use your donation?
​
With challenges across Specialist Education in the UK, with councils including Kent County Council facing extreme budgetary pressures, we envisage ever greater requirements for us to support the children in the centre and wider school.
​
Speech and Language provision from the NHS as well as Occupational Therapy specialists have been especially hit. mad we are currently fundraising to provide dedicated on site provision at the Unit. Find out more here
​
Any donations are received very gratefully
