We run free, engaging and accessible activities for children with additional needs and disabilities. Our inclusive services offer one-to-one support that helps children to thrive, develop and, most importantly, to have fun.

Raising a child with additional needs can feel overwhelming, especially when support is hard to find or uncertain. More families are waiting longer for help, and many inclusive services have become harder to access. Changes to the wider system leave parents unsure about what support will be available for their child in the future. In areas where families are already under pressure, these challenges are even greater. KEEN London exists to offer free inclusive activities where children can be active, build confidence and friendships, and simply have fun. For many families, we are the only service they can access, providing support, respite and a sense of belonging when it is most needed.

Rising Stars is an informal stay and play sessions for preschool children (0-5) with additional needs and disabilities.  Set up to help bridge gaps in early years support with sensory-rich play for children and a welcoming space for parents to connect, share experiences, and access early intervention support.

KEEN Club offers free, weekly 1:1 supported sports and activity sessions for primary aged children (5 -11) with additional needs and disabilities.  KEEN Club is an inclusive, safe and welcoming space for children to be themselves and have fun.  Our sessions are designed to improve children’s personal, social, and emotional development from building confidence and communications skills to learning to engage with other children in a group environment. KEEN Club operates in Brent, Lambeth and Hackney. Find out more and join our waiting list here

Each year, KEEN London delivers thousands of 1:1 supported sessions to children with additional needs (208 sessions and 4,101 hours of 1:1 support last year alone).

For many families, KEEN Club is the only activity their child participates in outside of school—or, for some children not in school, their only activity at all. For most families, KEEN Club provides the only respite they receive, and for all families, it makes a tangible, positive impact on their child’s overall wellbeing (as highlighted in our most recent parent survey).
