How To Use This Site

The site covers a wide range of activities. Not all of these activities require vast amounts of time or expertise.

Each topic is broken down into three sections:

WHAT?
What does the activity involve? What is the main focus?

WHO?
Who can get involved? Do they need special qualities or abilities?

HOW?
How does anyone who is interested take their interest further? How can they find out more?

What Can I Do? was produced by PACT, the Prison Advice and Care Trust, on behalf of the Churches' Criminal Justice Forum, and funded by Rethinking Crime and Punishment.
