We are a very friendly support group, supporting children with Downs Syndrome and their families based in the West Midlands. We hold monthly meetings for children with Downs Syndrome of all ages and their families including siblings.
We have also organised social events, which have proved popular! Previous events have included trips to London Zoo, the Botanical Gardens in Edgbaston, Horse riding, Summer and Christmas parties and trips to local soft play areas.
We find that contact with other parents and guardians in the same position is invaluable and we encourage parents to share their experiences and advice on all manner of issues such as feeding, sleeping, behavioural issues, speech and language delay, developmental worries and the EHCP process.
Up and Downs provide subsidised learning activities and events in order to aid progression of children with Downs Syndrome in all aspects of life, whilst providing much needed support for families and guardians alike. Unfortunately due to ever increasing costs we are only able to offer these services to active participants in the charity.
