Who this task will support
Gardening with KEEN
KEEN is a charity that runs activities for disabled young people and we need your help to get our allotment ready for our participants to use this coming summer! We run weekly gardening sessions for our young people which are very popular but the allotment requires clearing and digging and we'd love some extra help!


KEEN are an award-winning youth-led organisation. They create inclusive projects, and support and promote inclusion in Oxfordshire. The KEEN participants are a group of children and young people with a wide range of disabilities - they love gardening and allotment sessions provide benefits to their wellbeing, time outside and the chance to gain new skills and new friends.

The KEEN team are unable to take on the more physically demanding tasks necessary to prepare the allotment - there is lots of weeding to do, grass that needs strimming, plus we will try to get as far as rotavating the soil and digging in some compost ready for planting!

This will allow KEEN to get participants in to start gardening as soon as possible!

Meeting points: If you would like to run to the task meet at 6pm at the Falcon Boat Club car park on Meadow Lane.
If you would prefer to meet us at the task be at the gate to Elder Stubbs Allotment on Rymers Lane (OX4 3DY) at 6:15pm.
