Ingol and Tanterton Community Trust (INTACT)

Based in the Ingol and Tanterton wards of Preston, INTACT aims to:

• Make the community a better place to live, by organising events and festivals and community clean-up days and by listening to, and acting on, local people’s concerns
• Support everyone in the community, by offering regular drop-ins and surgeries, affordable services and skills training
• Provide facilities and activities such as holiday play schemes and sports activities
• Raise awareness of issues such as speeding and healthy eating
• Provide a fully equipped community centre for local people and agencies to hire for public and private events
• Provide volunteering opportunities where adults and young people can gain valuable work experience, life skills and records of their achievement
• Provide a safe and friendly learning environment for children and adults. A fully equipped IT centre means that people who have never used a computer can learn basic skills
• Encourage people to become actively involved in their communities, have a voice in board meetings and forums and develop and run their own community groups
• Promote partnerships and work with others to achieve common goals
• Achieve long-term sustainability
