Help Us Open the Doors at Acclaim House

We’re excited to share that Sunshine & Smiles is moving into a new community space on the first floor of Acclaim House — a welcoming, accessible hub where our groups, therapies, family support and employment pathways can grow together under one roof. This move is an important step in strengthening our day‑to‑day work while we continue planning for our long‑term dream: a permanent Home for Sunshine & Smiles.

Acclaim House will give us room to breathe, room to grow, and room to bring more families together. But moving into a new space comes with significant costs — from decorating and furnishing the rooms, to creating a sensory area, to equipping the café and office, to covering removal costs and the staff time needed to set everything up safely.

We’re asking for your help to make this move possible.

Every donation will go directly towards the practical costs of getting Acclaim House ready for our community: • Creating a warm, accessible environment for families • Setting up a sensory room and quiet space • Equipping our café and work‑experience area • Furnishing offices and meeting rooms • Covering removal and setup costs • Ensuring a smooth, safe transition for everyone

This new space will allow us to support more children and young people with Down syndrome, offer more groups and activities, and create better connections across the city. It’s a vital stepping‑stone towards our permanent home — and a meaningful improvement for families right now.

If you can donate, share, or spread the word, you’ll be helping us open the doors at Acclaim House and welcome our community into its next chapter.

Thank you for your support.
