Due to coronavirus restrictions across the UK, this project is currently paused. The information below refers to project activities up until March 2020. Since March 2020, Virtual KEEN has provided as a replacement a busy, daily programme of interactive projects across all areas of social and recreational activity, and this is detailed in Fact file: Virtual KEEN. We look forward to bringing KEEN After-School Club back on the ground in 2021!

Stories
Communicated through a range of media including quotes, videos, and audio, these are the stories of KEEN's beneficiaries which show how this project makes a difference.
“Each week we aim to create something with our hands, play games outside, garden, and of course have a pit-stop in the awesome sensory room before home-time!”
Recent developments
This section includes information on recent changes which we have made to this project to improve it!
We focused on putting in place regular after-school physical activities, with a mix of sports, games, and arts-based projects.
We developed pathways for non-disabled young people to get involved, in particular working with City of Oxford College. This has meant most session buddies have been in the 16-19 years age range, and the sessions have had an inclusive ethos.
Future plans
This section includes information on our upcoming plans for this project. How we see it developing of the next 6-12 months and what actions we are taking to achieve this.
To increase the number of session buddies taking part.
To support students at the nearby Oxford Academy School to get involved.
To do projects which connect with the local community, including in particular the museums, galleries and theatres in Oxford.
