interAKtive is a Surrey based
parent-led charity for families who have a child children, on the autism
spectrum, or a child with a similar communication difficulty. We help local children
and their families to access support and leisure opportunities through activity
events, family fun days, an ASD specialist play-scheme in the Easter and summer holidays and member coffee mornings. We also hold an Annual
Conference with guest speakers and are aiming to develop future schemes
targeted at 16-19 year olds. Most activities are EXCLUSIVE to our members and
are available to siblings also so that families can take part in activities
together. Examples of activities include exclusive swim sessions at the
Guildford Spectrum, climbing at White Spider Climbing centre, exclusive
afternoon at Bocketts Farm, cake decorating workshops, trampolining, horse riding and much more! All events are
subsidised by the charity to ensure events are affordable for our
members.
On 25th February interAKtive were welcomed by Chipstead Golf Club as the Captain's Charity for the next 12 months. This is fantastic news for the charity and we were made so welcome by the members of the golf club. They are all looking forward to fundraising over the next 12 months to support our cause. Wonderful news!
A huge thank you to Crédit Agricole for nominating us for their Helping Hand Award. InterAKtive were presented with a £4000 cheque which will go towards subsidising exclusive events and our charity playscheme
Huge thanks to charity band 'Three Men and a Lady' who very kindly put on a magical evening of music in aid of interAKtive and helped to raise £667 on the night. FANTASTIC!
