Candles is a parent-run charity for families with a child who has Down Syndrome. Our group organises activities, events, and specialist sessions in the community for children with Down Syndrome and their siblings. We also provide access to training and advice for parents and carers.

Story

At 13 weeks pregnant we were told that we had 1 in 10 chance of our little one being born with Trisomy 21; Down syndrome. Knowing nothing about the condition, it’s safe to say our heads were in a bit of a muddle.

Fast forward 2.5 years and our little girl continues to be an inspiration to us every single day. She brightens up every room she enters with her gorgeous smile and wave. Dispelling misconceptions about Down syndrome one person at a time 💪.

Candles has been an amazing support network for us. From providing us with opportunities to meet other local families, organising lots of activities to do with Nola and advocating for improvements in understanding of Down syndrome this small charity has been a real lifeline for us. Nola loves catching up with her new friends at all the fun activities organised by Candles. This small charity have provided us with so much and now we have a chance to give a little something back.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
