Milton Keynes | Community Support & Development
An inclusive group for anybody who's life is affected by that special extra chromosome, from children with Downs syndrome themselves to parents and carers, siblings, grandparents, and friends. A place to come for friendship, support, and guidance. Whatever might be needed we will pool our resources to help. Monthly social meetings are held at a purpose-built family centre equipped with a sensory room, and a social hall where we have various activities planned throughout the year.
Why the community needs us
A place to come for friendship support and guidance. For parents to share experiences and advice, and for siblings to mix with other children who understand what it's like to have a brother/sister with Downs Syndrome. Somewhere to just be a family. We provide invaluable resources and information on many of the challenges of raising and loving a child with additional needs. A place to come and celebrate achievements, milestones, and triumphs with others who understand just how huge the small steps are.
Our impact on the community
We work alongside Milton Keynes Hospital and various health professionals to give our children and their families the opportunities and care that they deserve. We offer nonjudgmental support for families with a prenatal diagnosis and work with many other charities across Milton Keynes and the surrounding areas to ensure our parents have access to a wealth of services we are unable to solely provide.
