Community thanks - Down Syndrome Development Trust.
"If it were not for supporters like yourself providing financial aid in the form of grants and ongoing contributions, we would simply not be able to run our charity and enable our vital and much-needed work to continue. For this, we offer our deepest gratitude."
We really love hearing about how our community uses the funds they raise with us, or receive from the grants we distribute, so were thrilled when this e-mail from the Down Syndrome Development Trust arrived in our inbox this week. The Trust provides support, training and activities for parents and their children living with Down syndrome, they provide access to sports clubs, music classes, training and nutritional advice as well as advocating and advising round provision for education. They have recently benefited from a Magic Little Grant from Localgiving and People's Postcode Lottery.
Dear Localgiving,
We hope this email finds you well.
We are writing to you today to thank you for your generous donation towards our minibus trips. Our minibus trips are increasing year by year with incredible feedback from parents, carers, and our young people. The Down Syndrome Development Trust prides itself on receiving honourable testimonials from our service users and we feel that it is important to share this information with our donors. One staff’s testimonial sums up the benefits that our organisation brings to our young people.
"I was truly moved by the exceptional support provided by our staff members during the recent minibus trip to the bowling centre with our young people with Down syndrome. Their dedication and compassion created an atmosphere of warmth and understanding that resonated with both the participants and their families. Witnessing the staff member's unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety and comfort of every child on the journey was heartwarming. They went above and beyond, meticulously arranging seating plans and sensory accommodations to make sure every detail was tailored to the unique needs of each child.”
We hope this testimonial gives a valuable insight into our organisation’s determination to ensure our young people receive the best possible opportunities to build their confidence and expand their horizons. We are so grateful for the recent grant from Localgiving and on behalf of the children, families, and staff here at the Down Syndrome Development Trust, thank you.
