InterAct promoting creativity, inspiring and empowering people to make positive progress and live a happy and fulfilling life. Based in Chelmsford, Essex we work in partnership across Essex, and further afield across the UK. We work with communities in which our interdependence is valued, and where we work together to include the excluded and to create a fair world. Equality, diversity and inclusiveness define InterAct’s vision, emerging as fresh, living practice in day-to-day operations. We strive to improve lives and communities through learning, leisure, sharing and support. Championing people to have increased choice to make informed decisions about their lives, empowering them to fully participate in their community and society, and to reach their full potential. We support people to actively participate in their communities and lead fulfilling lives. To be able to ‘do more’, and need less support - with a common theme of "helping others to help themselves". We seek to make a demonstrable contribution to the lives and wellbeing of children, young people, adults and communities by: Actively promoting choice, inclusion and opportunity through providing a range of high-quality, person-centred, community services and training. Supporting people to build better lives - encouraging empowerment and resilience, increasing confidence, reducing isolation and loneliness, focusing on individual needs and striving to achieve long-term sustainable change. Helping vulnerable people be informed through support services, community training, brokerage and signposting.
