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!!

Down Syndrome Cheshire is thrilled to celebrate the tremendous success of our recent annual Golf Day fundraiser, held at the stunning Vale Royal Abbey Golf Club. With over fifty enthusiastic players taking to the fairways under glorious skies, the day was filled with friendly competition, laughter, and community spirit. After a rewarding round of golf, guests enjoyed a hearty hot supper, a refreshing cold beer, and the excitement of our star prize raffle. Thanks to the incredible generosity of everyone involved, the event raised over £2,500—funds that will go directly towards supporting and empowering our wonderful Down Syndrome Cheshire family. We are deeply grateful to all who took part and made this day such a memorable celebration.
