Our thriving packing project upskills people we work with who are living with mental health issues or other disabilities. They gain experience in a work environment and develop essential life and communication skills either as an enjoyable hobby in friendly surroundings or, to help lead to further work placements and employment.

Pak-It is a social enterprise engaging disadvantaged adults; its primary aim is to provide meaningful daytime activities within a work-like environment.
Pak-It is based in Preston city centre and has one workshop conveniently placed for all transport links.
At present, it can provide 25 places for disadvantaged adults over five working days.
It was started in 2008 with one work provider, however, as time passed the number of participants increased dramatically and so new work sources were sought.
We are traditionally sent work directly to us, along with any materials required for completion (boxes, envelopes etc.), we process the job and send it out either by courier or client collection.
Pak-It is the project title, however, over time the roles of the project have diversified so that packing is now only a part of the service offered.

Over the years Pak-It has acquired a skill set which allows us to undertake tasks, where automation would be impractical and expensive i.e. short runs and small to medium volumes. This service has proved attractive to customers with large client bases but small office facilities.
Pak-It is also involved in the distribution of health information packs, carers’ newsletters, and Public Health campaigns.
With such a diverse workforce, the team have made many practical adaptations to enable full inclusion whilst ensuring we maintain our high standard of work.
 Along with many businesses, Covid 19 hit us hard and although we were able to help directly with packing Covid test kits for the NHS, we are now left in need of securing new work sources.
