INTE ANN REROR 2025
2025
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 fl ourish within the safe, welcoming, and professional environment we cultivate. Regular access to creative classes empowers individuals to develop new skills while fostering a strong sense of identity and purpose.
Alongside our daily classes and clubs, we collaborate with professional actors and fi lmmakers to create remarkable performances that place our participants at the heart of the process. These projects enrich everyone involved and continue to demonstrate », = the transformative power of ‘ea creativity.
Although much of this year’s work occurred behind the scenes, we began 2025 in a distinctly on-stage way.
Reakt

At InteraKt, creativity is more than artistic expression—it is a way of life. By embracing this philosophy, we consistently create new opportunities and deliver tailored services that ensure meaningful engagement at every ability level.

Our evening sessions have refocused on building stronger acting fundamentals. We adopted a more “stage-school” style structure to develop technique, emotional expression, and wellrounded characterisation.
by our actors, who grew in their physical communication of emotion Our Monday evening session, based at Mary Hare School aims to challenge our participants and produce high-quality, accessible theatre. Their trip to Neverland showcased choreography, stage combat, and puppetry for a soldout audience, and it informed our programme for the remainder of the year.
Arlington Arts continues to be an invaluable partner. Their team has supported our growth, encouraged ambition, and helped us improve our production values. We look forward to returning to their stage next summer.
Interdance
Our other evening session,
We set out to work with local SEN schools to deliver workshops addressing issues aff ecting teenagers in the LD community. These sessions—created with and

: Say : we Filmmaking continues to grow in technical skill, and this year we laid strong foundations for our 2026 video-hosting project.
Our Friday groups, in particular, have become more prolifi c in creating drama content for both private and public release.
Their 2025 end-of-year sharing private and public release. was a great success, and in 2026 we plan to integrate their work into Y - This year, we re-established our : ‘ our day services by involving them popular 4th wall project alongside in choreographing our morning the Watermill Theatre, in which our warm-ups. participants worked with Watermill facilitators to create our abridged version of the theatre’s summer ; a os va musical Jesus Christ Superstar.

shift in pastoral care. Mental health challenges continue to rise nationally, and this trend is
intensifi ed within the neurodiverse community. We found that over half our staff ’s time was spent on pastoral duties—supporting relationships, regulation, and emotional wellbeing.
To strengthen our support, we introduced two measures:
All staff are now trained in Positive Behavioural Support (PBS), giving us a unifi ed framework for understanding behaviours of concern and reducing stress within our community.
day-to-day operations, giving us greater capacity for growth, clearer communication, and a stronger ability to engage stakeholders and fundraise. These improvements will help us deliver a more invested, holistic service while enhancing long-term sustainability.
In 2026, we will be producing more content than ever:
*** Our theatre productions will continue to grow in professionalism.**
We hired Georgia Gilmore, an experienced LD professional and qualifi ed theatrical makeup artist, to lead on pastoral care. Georgia has had an immediate impact. Her role (Pastoral Care Worker) has improved emotional regulation, strengthened communication, and signifi cantly reduced behaviours of concern—allowing us to achieve more during sessions and boosting participants’ confi dence. 2026 In a challenging economic climate, we are working to become more sustainable and holistic in our approach. ue A major behind-the-scenes development is the appointment of a new Charity Operations Manager, starting in February. This role will separate strategic planning from
*** Our filmmaking workshops will launch a monthly YouTube show covering What’s On in West Berkshire.**
*** Our Friday theatre workshops will produce more filmed, devised pieces.**
This public-facing work will help participants build confidence, develop soft skills, and take pride in being part of an exciting, aspirational producing house.
With additional staff capacity, we also aim to organise more trips out, as these experiences have a profoundly positive impact on participants’ connection to the community.
The upcoming year also marks a year of investment as we manage our financial reserves into giving us a 6-month contingency budget and using a surplus to fund modernisation and staff development
