We're a thriving parent-run charity for children with Down's Syndrome and their families in South London. Our unique free early intervention therapy service helps young children (0-6 years) with their physical, language and emotional development, giving them essential skills for daily living.

Story

Thank you for visiting our page. It's thanks to your supportive donations, and the work of charities like Down's South London, that help keep babies and children with Down Syndrome laughing!

We are all going to be running 10KM in February to help support Down's South London as they have made a real difference to Leo.

Babies with Down Syndrome can be born with health complications and can have various developmental and learning challenges. Down's South London provides weekly intensive therapy for children with Down Syndrome and it also provides invaluable support for parents, helping to educate them whilst they navigate their way through parenthood with these additional challenges.

If we hadn't discovered Down South London and their team of fantastic therapists we would quite literally be floundering. Little Leo loves his sessions and they really are the highlight of his week!
