    Between 2013/14 and 2018/19, the number of children and young people with an EHC plan (education, heath and care plan) increased by 35 per cent (compared to just 4 per cent in the previous five years).Families in our service speak of two year waits for diagnosis assessments and essential services like Speech and language. With so few options available for support, demand for charity run services like ours has risen and our waiting lists are growing.

    Our sessions provide a rare opportunity for children with additional needs to interact & socialise with peers outside of school and take part in fun activities, without judgement. Recent quotes from families refer to KEEN London as "the only place my son can be himself and not be judged", ‘ "the only place my child can access an extracurricular activity", "The only place I have ever trusted to leave my child knowing he is safe and supported”.
