Why the community needs us
Since the group was formed we have provided support for new parents of babies born with Down's syndrome by telephone and by visiting them in hospital when requested. We have also organized workshops about behavior and education which have helped parents and carers.

Our impact on the community
People who have Down's syndrome can lead better healthier and happier lives because of our commitment to help them, their parents and carers.
Our dance and tennis sessions help them to improve their physical abilities, balance and coordination and general well being. The social interaction also demands using social skills which are very very important.
