We have some great training opportunities lined up for this term!

  1. As part of a nationwide project by The Skills Network to raise Mental Health Awareness within communities throughout the UK we're able to offer any of the KEEN team a free online qualification in Awareness of Mental Health Problems. This is funded by the government and is the equivalent level of qualification as a GCSE at A*-C grades.

  2. Beginners Makaton Training 

    6:30 - 8:30pm Thursday 24th October

    Makaton sign language is designed to provide a means of communication to individuals who cannot communicate efficiently by speaking. Some of our participants use makaton so it'll be great to improve our skills.

  3. Hoping to set up some inclusive sports training with Brookes Sport… stay tuned
