Interakt Community Charity - DJ and music

Last updated: 27/02/2024

Can you feel the beat? These sessions are all about having fun with your favourite music and learning new skills such as mixing and how to use DJ software. Participants focus on creating their own playlists, learning the skills required for selecting and presenting their chosen material to others, either via CD or vinyl turntables. There is an opportunity to join in with karaoke (always a popular one!) and participants enjoy hosting and taking part in musical-based games which often incorporate singing and using newly discovered DJ expertise.

Skills developed include operation of musical equipment and technology, musical appreciation and playing music in succession to entertain, motivate others, and enjoy. 

We offer a holistic approach to meet the needs of each individual regardless of their ability; we provide exciting opportunities, friendships, fun, creativity, confidence, and an increased sense of empowerment.

We have a wide range of creative and life skills classes on offer. Our team would love to welcome you to join in the fun. Visit our website at https://interakt.org.uk  to find out more or contact us at enquiries@interakt.co.uk

Referral Details

For those transitioning from College to Adult Social Care contact WBC Adult Social Care and request a list from the transitioning team which will have details of Day Providers, their activities, sessions, days and times.  Remember that your provision is your choice therefor make time to research and book a free taster session with those providers which you want to explore further.  For those already in the Adult Social Care sector who require another service from a different provider to what they already have, contact Adult Social Care and ask to speak to your social worker or care manager with your query or request.  The most important thing is for each individual to access a service that is of their own choice that each individual is informed of a variety of provisions in order to make an informed choice which works best for them.  

Interakt does not require a referral as our sessions are for everyone and if an individual has very complex needs then with support from West Berkshire Council's Adult Social Care a specific care plan will be commissioned. 

Other notes

Interakt supports young adults and adults with learning disabilities.  This generic terminology refers to a whole range of challenges which may impact learning, social skills, confidence, physical ability, sensory challenges, life skills and work experience. Free taster sessions are highly recommended as we are convinced that it has to be the right choice in order to benefit and embrace one's potential, to have fun, make new friends and live life to the fullest.
