WELCOME TO DOWN SYNDROME CHESHIRE

Our charity was founded in 2007 by a group of parents, who realised how important it is to connect with other people in order to share experiences. Our aim is to provide opportunities for parents, carers, siblings and extended family networks to have fun in a fully inclusive environment, where a child with Down syndrome is one of many, rather than one of a few.


We run regular support activities for people with Down syndrome and their family members.

Our recent fundraising evening of fun, fizz, and fashion was a huge thank and we'd love to extend a huge thanks to everyone who attended and supported us - and to give a special shoutout to SOS Clothing Parties and Teal & Stars who, once again, were the stars of the show.

Looking for an excuse to not spend hours writing and sending Christmas cards to all those people you met on those all-inclusive holiday years ago and whose first names you now can't even remember? Then we're happy to be that excuse! Once again this festive period, we're inviting our supporters to make a donation to Down Syndrome Cheshire instead of sending Christmas cards It’s a simple yet meaningful way to spread cheer and support our incredible community. By choosing to donate, you’ll help fund vital programs and events that make a real difference in the lives of our members and their families. Plus, it’s a great way to give back while reducing waste—truly a gift that keeps on giving. Thank you for choosing to make a difference this Christmas! 💖

November 8, 2024
We are asking our registered families to take a few moments out of their day and share some all-important information with us. We have created a number of different surveys that cover a range of membership demographics - the main one being our Hopes & Fears survey - and invite our family membership to complete all that are relevant to their current needs and interests. We appreciate that competing surveys is not the most exciting thing in the world but please know that the reports generated from these results are so important to us as they help us to shape the support and services that we offer - making sure it's tuned to exactly what is needed by our DS community.
