InterAct Chelmsford

Who we are

InterAct is an enterprising, Essex based charity that delivers support where needed most – in the heart of the community. InterAct is committed to making a consistently positive contribution to society by supporting vulnerable children, young people, adults, families, carers, and the communities that work with them, to make positive changes in their lives.

We place our clients at the centre of all we do. Our commitment to them is to continue to listen, work together and deliver high quality services and to continue to contribute to the building of stronger, accessible, safer and inclusive communities.

Our Vision - ‘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. InterAct is committed to opposing discrimination and promotes equal opportunities and inclusion for all.

Our Mission - ‘Removing Barriers - Achieving Full Community Life’.

Achieving Ensuring that people of all ages are given the opportunity to fulfill their potential in life regardless of their abilities.

Full Community Life The opportunity for every individual to actively participate with family, friends, and people in their local and wider community, to lead a happy and fulfilled life.

The Social Model of Disability underpins InterAct’s whole approach: that disability results not from impairments, but from barriers that society constructs, inhibiting full participation.
