InterAct

Children and young people with SEND often face challenges in developing relationships, building friendships, and connecting with their local communities. This can lead to increased feelings of isolation and loneliness, which may affect their physical and mental health, and place additional pressure on their families. InterAct aims to address these needs by providing opportunities for children and young people in Essex to go out, meet others, develop social skills, and enjoy physical activities and games while engaging with their local community. We are seeking a volunteer Trustee, preferably with experience of using our services, who believes these young people would benefit from greater access to opportunities that foster independence from care services as they grow older. The role will also support our fundraising efforts by helping to organise small, local events to ensure our financial sustainability and raise awareness of our services within the communities we serve. We are looking for someone with experience supporting children and young people with special educational needs or disabilities, who is also willing to assist in organising events.
