Yarnton is a small village in rural Oxfordshire, England. It is possible that Yarnton is the oldest village in England though this is a claim shared with several hundred other villages.

Have YOU ever thought about FOSTERING? There is a recognised shortage of 10,000 Foster Carers in the UK. PACT,founded in 1911, is also known as the Oxford Diocesan Council for Social Work inc.

We are an approved Adoption and Fostering Agency. We have a history of finding safe, loving families for children in care. Here are a few factsabout Fostering:
1. Did you know you don’t have to be married to become a Foster Carer?
2. You don’t have to have children already although you do need to have experience of caring for children.

You may or may not know but YPF are trying to replace the old dilapidated changing room building at the Littlemarsh field, anyone who has seen this building lately will know that this need is now urgent.
Three years ago we obtained CDC planning permission, plans were drawn up and an application submitted to the Big Lottery Grant to fund this project, unfortunately we were not successful in our application.
Since this time various ideas, discussions & visits from various companies / tradesmen has happened but the project has not progressed.
One reason that a new building has not been delivered as yet is the lack of people to tackle the problem, since the Lottery application several committee members have moved on, currently only five people are now on the committee, not enough really to complete the normal day to day needs of YPF let alone this issue.
