Intact provides support, advice, and a signposting service, along with a drop-in facility. We serve as a community venue for meetings, education, learning, and offer a range of recreational and leisure facilities for residents of all ages. Intact's primary focus is to serve the Ingol and Tanterton neighbourhoods, but we are delighted to extend our services and activities to more people in the City of Preston and its surrounding areas.

Intact operates at the Intact Community Centre on Whitby Avenue, situated between two schools - Ingol School and Holy Family School.
