We support families from the very beginning of their journey

all the way through to adulthood. We also educate, train and inform both education and healthcare professionals and work with community groups such as Water Babies to ensure that people with Down syndrome are supported in activities that they undertake.

We believe it’s vitally important that children with Down syndrome learn alongside their peers as this paves the way for a sense of belonging within their community. We are delighted to partner with Water Babies to ensure that children with Down syndrome enjoy a supportive and inclusive environment whilst building confidence in the water to learn this important life skill.

So what are you waiting for? The adventure awaits…
