• Offering subsidised leisure and activity breaks.
• Supporting adults with Down’s Syndrome enabling them to enjoy social and leisure opportunities.
• Organising a wide range of events for all ages – all of which are subsidised to make them accessible to our members and enable members to meet up in a fun and informal way.
• Organising regular workshops and conferences on all aspects of Down’s Syndrome for parents/carers and interested professionals.
• Publishing regular newsletters and monthly What’s on Where flyers with information, news, and ideas on all matters related to Down’s Syndrome.
