Make inclusive play a part of tomorrow as well as today

Every year hundreds of children make life changing firsts as a result of attending our weekly 1:1 supported KEEN Clubs.  Taking part in an activity without parents for the first time, joining a group game, speaking their first word or having their first night away from home.  This work is funded entirely by donations, from Trusts and Foundations to the wonderful people who make a regular monthly donation, sponsor a friend, donate in our annual Big Give appeal or run a marathon for us. In addition to these incredible sources of income many charities receive gifts in wills.

We understand that family and loved ones always come first but we would like to ask all our supporters to take a moment to remember a charity and ensure the work you support and are passionate about continues.

Our FREE will writing service.

KEEN London has teamed up with one of the UK’s largest Will writing companies (FREEWILLS.CO.UK) to help our supporters make their own personalised Wills for free, online from the comfort of their home in fifteen minutes or less, without having to visit a solicitor, and without having to pay exorbitant fees. This free Wills offer is open to people of all ages, and there is no obligation to leave a gift in your Will.

If you would like to talk about leaving a gift in your will, about donations in lieu of flowers or our free will writing service with our partners Free Wills please contact our Fundraising Manager, Kirstie.

The difference a gift in your will could make

First night away from home

£500 could fund a disabled child’s first weekend away from home, rare respite for families and a chance for children to develop skills such as independence.

A brighter future for our Rising Stars

£7,000 could fund our Rising Stars stay & play, giving over 20 families the support & signposting for their child’s additional needs.

A brand new KEEN Club site

£40,000 could help fun a brand new KEEN Club site, giving more children with additional needs access to our free 1:1 supported service

Making a gift in your will

KEEN London is part of the Remember A Charity campaign, a group of 200 member charities working together to encourage more people to leave a gift in their Will for the causes that are a big part of their life.

Legacy giving has risen by 43% over the past decade with 29% of the population including a gift for charity in their will.  It is often the larger ‘well known’ charities that benefit more from gifts in wills but as a smaller local charity a gift in your will of any size could make a huge difference to the service we can deliver for tomorrows athletes.
