In true Joseph style this year he wants to do another Rugby Themed Challenge to mark World Down Syndrome Day 2026 and to raise money for 21 Plus. This follows on from his incredible success in 2025 in raising more than £2000! Joseph will be playing rugby for "21 minutes" with the help of his rugby team at Ebbw Vale Steelers Under 12s and his big brothers team at Ebbw Vale RFC Youth. Joseph will be doing it all, tackling, scrums, lineouts, kicking and scoring tries. Everyone will be wearing their odd socks to raise awareness for World Down Syndrome Day. All money raised goes to 21 Plus who have supported Joseph and as us a family for the past 12 years.
21 Plus is a charity supporting children and young adults with down syndrome. They offer:
Weekly early intervention groups for pre-schoolers.
Weekly primary aged communication groups.
Fortnightly youth group for teens and young adults.
School support service providing training and support to schools and nurseries.
Annual programme of training and workshops for parents/carers and professionals.
Annual speech and sport camp for primary aged children.
Annual Residential Camp for teenagers and young adults
Family events throughout the year.
Please support Joseph if you can we would love him to smash last years total!
