Story
The Jubilee Challenge is part of the Ten Tors Challenge specifically for people with learning and physical disabilities. Billy’s team (which is 6 young people who all have Down Syndrome) will camp overnight and navigate themselves around Dartmoor for 9 miles. They have been training hard over the last 4 months and have learnt how to map read and use a compass. The amazing charity Ups and Downs Southwest has enabled Billy to take part in this adventure and we wanted to raise some money to give other young people the same opportunity that Billy has had.
Ups and Downs Southwest offer information, advice, and support to families and professionals involved with children who have Down Syndrome across the Southwest. Founded in 1997 it now provides help to over 500 families.
