The group was formed in 1999 primarily as a support group for families who have children with Down syndrome or other disabilities. The group, still being very young, has a membership of 11 families, including professional members. Our members are mostly families with young children with Down syndrome. The oldest child being 16 years old. One of our member families have children with Cerebral Palsy.
Membership is open to anybody who has a child or family member with ANY disability.
People who work with disabled persons or are interested in our group are welcome to join. Services offered Support Support offered on all problems concerning people with DS and their families - especially parents of newborn babies. Unfortunately we have a limited choice of books but some of our members own good books which they will be prepared to lend out if arrangements are made in advance. Information Copies of a wide range of articles and brochures on all aspects of dealing with children with disabilities are available. We also have money boxes at various shops in our area where the public is encouraged to donate their small change.
