Applicant overview: The PAC was formed in 1989 to provide a mechanism for member organisations to work jointly for reform of the penal system by presenting their joint views to the Government, Parliament, the media and the general public. The Consortium's work includes, 1) parliamentary lobbying to argue the case for reform to Ministers and officials, 2) taking deputations to see Ministers and officials to argue the case for reform, 3) the production and promotion of publications arguing the case for reform, 4) publicity and media work, and 5) administration and meetings to support the foregoing. Nature of support: In 1993 the Trust approved a grant of £3,000 per annum for up to two years pending a PAC review of its funding base. In 1994 this grant was extended at the same level for a further three years. In 1995 this grant was increased to £13,275 per annum. In 1997 the Trust increased its support to £21,500 per annum. In 2000 support was continued at £12,000 per annum for three years. In 2003 the Trust agreed to an annual grant of £14,000 for three years to support the running costs and associated activities of PAC.
