London's Exceptional Warriors is an innovative scheme that offers individuals with additional needs and mental health conditions the opportunity to benefit from a structured and individualized exercise programme in a safe and quiet environment on a one-to-one basis. The tailor-made exercise programmes, emphasising the benefits of exercise, are supposed to guide children and teenagers with additional needs towards taking part in sports in which they can succeed and have fun without being exposed to the risk of becoming excluded or suffering from sensory overloads. 

 

Kevin has been running exercise sessions in central London since 2019. He focuses on both physical and mental health benefits of regular exercise which include improvements in mood, lower leves of anxiety and stress-relief. Kevin works closely with other professionals across London, including the Dr. Giaroli Centre on Harley Street, Occupational Therapists from Maximium Potential, ABC-OT and Abingdon House School/College.
