The launch of the #IChooseBoard

What an incredible day we had at Down Syndrome Cheshire we launched our #IChooseBoard. A board led by members with #Downsyndrome to ensure their voices are heard on a local and national stage. Learners from The Petty Pool Trust joined us to share their views.

We were also lucky enough to have guest speakers from the National Down Syndrome Policy Group; we had Fionn, Jonathan Angus, and Ed Daly as Chair and facilitator on the National Advisory Board. They spoke about their work with Parliament to shape the #DownSyndromeAct. 

We are delighted about how many members showed an interest in being part of our #IChooseBoard. We are looking forward to our next meeting. If you are interested in joining then please get in contact with Lucy by emailing her at lucym@dscheshire.org.uk

Golf Day 2025

June 18, 2025
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.
