We’re raising money to support Down Syndrome Manchester (DSM) and help fund their 2026 summer holiday club.

For many families, the school holidays—around 11 weeks of the year—can be busy but manageable but for families of children with special educational needs (SEN), they can be overwhelming. Finding suitable, inclusive childcare can bring added stress, anxiety, pressure, and a longing for the familiarity of the school routine.

As mums to three amazing little boys who just happen to have Down Syndrome, we know this feeling all too well.

That’s why this club, means so much to us.

For one week in the summer, our boys and others children like them can:

💛 Enjoy a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment

💛 Keep a sense of routine and structure

💛 Grow in confidence and build friendships

But clubs like this don’t happen without funding.

Every donation—big or small—will help make this week possible for children who need a space where they can thrive, and for families who need that support more than words can say.

If you’re able to give, we would be so grateful. And if you can’t, sharing this page would mean just as much!

Thank you for your support 💛

Amy, Lucy & Liz
