Raising money for

Downside Up

Charity Registration No. 1055087

Since 1996 Downside Up, the British-Russian Charity, is the only organisation that provides early intervention services to Russian children with Down syndrome and supports their families. Every year about 2000 children with DS are born in Russia and 85% of them are abandoned due to out-dated medical and social views about their abilities. Downside Up is not funded by Russian government but all its services are free. Over a thousand children from all over Russia receive support from Downside Up annually.

My story

Thank you for thinking about making a donation to Downside Up to celebrate our Wedding.

I (Ed) remember being immensely impressed by the work Downside Up were doing when my family lived in Moscow in the early 2000s. Conditions like Down Syndrome were very hidden in Russian society at the time (the information from Downside Up on the left suggests they still are), yet this charity was providing world-class support to children with the condition and their families.

If you go to their website, you'll see that Downside Up is helping more and more people every year, completely funded by donations. We would be very touched if you donated to them to mark our Wedding.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Downside Up Limited gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So, thank you for having a look at this - and see you at the wedding!
