Many children with additional needs & disabilities face social isolation, exclusion & limited opportunities to take part in community activities. Families often struggle to find safe, inclusive spaces where their child is accepted and can build friendships. At the same time, rising demand & pressures on SEND services mean many families are left without support, respite or opportunities for their children to develop confidence and social connections.

KEEN London delivers free, 1:1 supported sports & activity clubs where children with additional needs and disabilities can play, socialise & thrive in a fully inclusive environment. Each child is paired with a trained volunteer who provides personalised support, helping them take part, build confidence and build friendships. At the same time, parents and carers gain valuable respite and connection with other families facing similar challenges.
