## **Charitable objects**
To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people from becoming socially excluded, and relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded, by assisting them to be included in society, in particular by: Advancing, through provision or facilitation, community participation in socially inclusive recreational, leisure and other opportunities.
Providing education and information to support and enable people to maximise their or their dependants opportunities in the above regard. Advancing the education of the public in the subject of inclusion, equality, and diversity for socially excluded groups through the provision of workshops, forums, advocacy, and other means. For the purpose of the above clause ‘socially excluded’ as applied to an individual or group means not being able to take full part in some aspect of society - where the term society is broadly construed. This includes being disabled as understood within the social model of disability.
## **Activities**
Operating in locations across the UK, we exist to help remove the societal barriers that to continue to disable people from taking part their communities . We create, support, and promote inclusion in communities, including through our: Community-led inclusive projects, Community Sports Partner Programme and other collaborative initiatives, Youth-led behaviour change projects.
## **Chair of Trustees Report**
We once again ran our programme of inclusive sport and social activities - Allsorts, Great Social, Great Sports, KEEN drama, Allotment sessions, Zig Zag, our KEEN + holiday activities and our online sessions. We welcomed the Lord Mayor of Oxford, Lubna Arshad to our annual Birthday Party in February and the year culminated very happily with our annual Olympics at Cheney School, at which Professor Andrew Davison, Regius Professor of Theology, presented the medals and favoured us with his wisdom. All in all, the trustees take much satisfaction in supervising the provision of many happy hours for participants with disabilities and their families who might otherwise have limited or no access to sport and social activities.
We are grateful for the financial support of Oxford Community Foundation, Oxford City Council, Berkeley Homes (through Mencap), Charity of Thomas Dawson, Well Together, Schuh Trust, the University of Oxford and Magdalen College, in addition to the support of our many individual donors. We nevertheless operated at a modest deficit, still having some funds from a generous legacy in 2021/22, but will need to make further fundraising efforts in the coming year. We also continued to enjoy the support of the Keen Student Society under its senior member Prof Endicott of All Souls. We are once again most grateful to Oxford Playhouse for their partnership for our drama sessions and to St Clement's Community Centre, New College, Leys Pool and Leisure, Swan School and Cheney School for their continuing support and use of their respective facilities in Oxford.
The trustees wish to thank all of our participants, their families and carers and to all who acted as coordinators and staff during the year for their marvellous work and support as well as the many volunteers who give so generously of their time and energies to support our participants and their families.
J K McMahon Chair of Trustees
