with us Join in the fun and make friends with InterAct’s Short Breaks group activities. Whether it’s a couple of hours at the movies, or a whole day at the zoo, our Activity Programme is bursting with fun things for
young people to do, whilst giving parents/carers a break. We support young people to get out and about in the community,
make friends, build new skills and try new activities. We offer a full range of evening, weekend and after school activities
throughout the academic year, based in Basildon, Braintree, Chelmsford, Colchester and Tendring, whilst day trips during
school holidays are wider spread. The young people are always happy to welcome new InterActors to the groups!
Not ready for Group Activities? Ask us about Our fantastic programme that links young
people with learning disabilities and special needs with peers and volunteers, guided by a Circles Co-ordinator. Young peers provide volunteer support, friendship, mentoring, inclusion, skills development, confidence building and, of course, lots of FUN!
Are you registered with InterAct? We ask parents/carers to complete and return a signed registration form and risk
assessment before their son, daughter or the young person in their care can take part in their first InterAct activity. Please download these forms from our website or give us a call.
If you’re feeling a bit shy or unsure if InterAct is for you, ask about “Taster Days” with one of the team. We are only a call away.

Important News To enable us to provide fair and equal access to, and resourcing for, activities, we have
introduced a booking system for all term time activities, with effect from 1st March 2016. Many of you will be familiar with the current online system for booking holiday activities. The
same system will now be used for booking term time activities as well. Bookings can be made in advance via our website at www.interact.org.uk/booknow or you can get in touch with the team by phone or email - contact details can be found on Page 2.
The team are always available to discuss this, and any other matters. InterAct Activity Coordinators will still be contacting you on a weekly basis to let you know the
full details of upcoming activities.
