Hello all. 

 

We are doing a sponsored walk on Sunday, 6th June, to raise money for Downright Excellent, a charity that provides education and support for children with Downs Syndrome in London. Harshi attends this group on a weekly basis.

Downright Excellent provides educational sessions and quality play experiences for children with Down’s syndrome and their siblings, plus education and support for parents/ carers. We currently run weekly speech and language classes, and life skills and sensory processing sessions for children age 0-4 (Early Intervention), and 5-9 (Supplementary Education). We follow the teaching programme of Down Syndrome Education International, who regularly visit and evaluate our group, in order to maintain our excellence based on their cutting edge research.

Hoping for good weather on 6 June! Our walk is part of The Big Step Forward, organised by the Downs Syndrome Association to celebrate its 40th anniversary. 

All funds raised by our walk will go to Downright Excellent.
