Crafty Plans to Celebrate WDSD 2024!!
Calling all crafters! Throughout March, as we celebrate World Down Syndrome Day, we’re asking all you knitters and crochet crafters to take on a challenge and produce a pair of socks that we can include on our giant sock bunting! You can use any pattern you'd like, or feel free to download one of ours below. We will also be sending socks to families in Ukraine and neonatal units across the region. So, whether you are a crochet queen or a knitting master, join our Facebook challenge and be part of something WOOLLY special this #wdsd2024
Oh, and be sure to get those socks back to us before Thursday, March 21st, so they can be included in our celebration bunting!!

This World Down Syndrome Day, our challenge was simple: We just wanted you to get up, get out, and get active for Down Syndrome Cheshire in whatever way you could, and you guys accepted the challenge brilliantly! We are so proud and incredibly grateful to everyone who was sponsored to walk further; run faster; gym harder, and Zumba crazier than they thought possible, all of which raised over £6400!! This is absolutely incredible! Well done to all of our challengers; you are ALL SUPERHEROES!
Supporting World Autism Awareness Day 2025
We're so grateful to everyone who took up this year's Get Active For DSC challenge to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day 2025 - including Penny, who undertook an amazing Zumba-thon with her friends and raised £761 for DSC! This is such an inspirational story, and we feel so grateful and lucky to have the support of amazing people like Penny, whose kindness and determination help us to make a difference in the lives of our Cheshire Down syndrome community.
We're so proud of mum and DSC Trustee, Anna, for challenging herself to 21 gym sessions across the WDSD month of March. In her own words, this was a real undertaking - fitting it in with a busy life and home, but she did it and managed to raise an amazing £916 in the process. Well done, Anna! You're a real inspiration, and we're so grateful for your support.
