Join Stepping Stones DS families completing the Kingston Dragonboat Festival on Sunday on 13th July 2026.

This year’s World Down Syndrome Day theme was Never Alone, it reminded us of the importance of our family of families coming together to support one another. This July our families are coming together to take part in the Kingston Dragon Boat Festival, working together to power their Dragon Boat through 3 races of the 200m course on the River Thames.

It will be a celebration of inclusion, community and potential, everyone can join in, have fun, and make a real difference.

Stepping Stones DS relies on the generosity of supporters like you. Every donation, no matter how big or small, helps us continue our mission to provide essential support, education, and guidance to children, young people, and their families in our community.

Your contribution goes beyond just funding—it provides hope, empowerment, and opportunities.

Ali and Neve will be joining the Dragonboat crew, cheered on by Grandma and Lily from the riverbank!
