Story

With your help we are looking forward to celebrating World Down Syndrome Day 2023 on Tuesday 21st March and making it the biggest and best yet!

As well as raising awareness and celebrating our fabulous children, it is a wonderful opportunity to help us raise funds to continue to empower, enlighten and educate families and professionals involved in our childrens care and education. There are a few different ways you can join us in celebrating and we hope have lots of fun in the process!

Every pound raised helps us continue to make a positive impact on the lives of children and young people with Down syndrome.

We were blown away last year at how many of our wonderful community members took part in our #PADS21Challenge. It is super easy to take part - you choose your challenge, your way!

Whether you run, cycle, swim or learn 21 new signs or bake and sell 21 cakes is up to you - as long as it includes 21! You can do it at work, at home, get your family and friends involved. Our children can be involved too - undertaking a small challenge a day or 21 star jumps in an hour, video 21 signs..... Last year, funds raised helped us to continue to provide services like our early development courses, Makaton training, information and support resources for Nurseries and more.
