Donations
Mainly through your generosity via donations we can carry out the help and support for Down Syndrome – children, families and the healthcare and education professionals that rely on us.
As you can imagine funding a charity is challenging we urge you to please give generously to enable us to provide the variety and breadth of services and support we are known for.

Gift Aid
