Seventeen months ago our son Oscar Brewin was born with Down Syndrome. Oscar attends many different groups to help aid his development and we have decided to try and raise money for The Leicester Down Syndrome Group. This is a local charity which not only helps support Oscar, but lots of other children and adults in and around Leicestershire living with Down Syndrome.

The Leicestershire Down’s Syndrome Group was established in 1981 and is associated to the Down’s Syndrome Association, a national charity with its Headquarters in London. The Leicester group is run by a dedicated team of unpaid volunteers, mostly parents, but all who have a person with Down's Syndrome as a member of their family. The Leicester Group was founded by a small group of mothers who met during the early days of their children's lives, to give each other the support that was unavailable elsewhere. From there the group has grown to provide a large support and advice network to many families right across Leicestershire. Work is ongoing, as our volunteers strive to carry on providing the current services in place and aim to expand into the future with new projects.
