## **InteraKt Community is a charity based in Newbury,West Berkshire.** 

We support and celebrate adults with learning, physical and sensory challenges through the prism of creativity and the arts. 

We excel at providing opportunities in dance, drama, videography, music production, arts and crafts, and life skills. 

Our participants flourish within the safe, welcoming, and professional environment we cultivate. Regular access to creative classes empowers our participants to develop new skills while fostering a strong sense of identity and purpose. 

In addition to offering daily classes and clubs, we collaborate 

with professional actors and filmmakers 

whenever possible to produce remarkable performances, placing our participants at the core of every production. These efforts profoundly enrich the lives of all involved. 

At InteraKt, we are passionate about creativity and champion its transformative power at every opportunity. Creativity, to us, extends beyond performances and artistic expressions—it is a way of life. By embracing this philosophy, we consistently create new opportunities and possibilities. This dynamic approach allows us to deliver tailored services that ensure meaningful engagement at every individual’s ability level. 

## change 

2024 has been a year of change at InteraKt. We have said goodbye to a facilitator, bookkeeper, and founder in roles that have/are currently being refilled, bringing a new approach to add to an experienced existing team. 

Over the summer, we trialled a new project called the ‘Summer Blockbuster’ in which participants from 15-22 years of age worked with our facilitators to create a short film in one week. Participants met each other for the first time, decided on the genre, and developed the story on Monday. By Friday, they finished the edit and watched the finished product. It was an incredible project, and participants left with further teamwork skills increased selfconfidence and drastically enhanced video production skills. 

Straight away after the Summer Blockbuster, we ramped into work for August’s InteraKt Fashion Show; after five years away, we travelled to Arlington Arts to take our audience on a round-the-world fashion trip, showing off the best styles from multiple countries, which delved not only into sartorial choices of a nation but its food, culture and language. 

Our founder and CEO, Tsippy McAuliffe, stepped down in September, replaced by Tom Broadfoot as Charity Director. After 13 years, Tsippy’s departure is a significant transition for the organisation, and we will employ considerable time, effort, and resources to aid in this transition. 

## l rl . Ambition 

modernisation program in our finance, streamlining processes using technology. 

Charles Mollet joined us as illness cover and has thankfully stayed on. He’s an experienced facilitator coming from 2 previous LD charities and is a specialist in inclusive technology. 

We are in the process of advertising for a new member of staff who will focus on pastoral care and wellbeing, showcasing our renewed focus on the mental health of our participants and their further support network. We believe this staff member will allow us better mental health in our community and the bandwidth for our 

other facilitators to be more ambitious and inclusive in their session work. 

At the same time, a project to modernise our technology has been undertaken with the adoption of Microsoft 365 and the purchasing of new hardware for both

computing and music production, allowing us to stretch ourselves creatively whilst streamlining processes and automating tasks. 

Modernisation continues in other areas, too. We have started a project to modernise our video production and stage hardware called ‘Scene 2’, which we will begin fundraising in the new year. 

2025 will also see a differing approach in how we deliver sessions. We are trialling our ‘make some noise program’, which will give each month a theme centred on personal and community growth. This kicks off in January with the appropriately named ‘New beginnings’ followed by ‘Who am I?’, ‘Who are you’ and ‘Facing challenges’ in February, March and April, respectively. 

2nd collaboration we have undertaken since becoming an Arlington Arts resident theatre company (the first being August’s fashion show). 

Reakt, being a resident theatre company of Arlington Arts, gives Reakt its own home alongside its own strategic goals and gives us access to its technical and theatrical acumen. We hope to further grow this partnership with InteraKt events in the coming year. 

## NEW OPPORTUNITIES 

The coming year promises to be full of new ideas at InteraKt as we are in the planning stages for a West Berkshire-wide talent show! 

We are also undertaking a new year long scheme of creative focuses based on self improvment with a new aspect every month 

We have also started preliminary talks to work in international collaboration! 

This approach allows us to emotionally and creatively focus our participants and staff to allow greater exploration and more developed results. 

Our still-young theatre production, Reakt Theatre, is undertaking its next production, Peter Pan, in January under the direction of its new creative director, Lizzie Lewis. The production will be the
