21 Co. to Celebrate 1st Birthday

This Sunday, 12th January 2020 21 Co. Shop & Café will be celebrating its 1st Birthday!

What started as an idea for World Down Syndrome Awareness month when we launched a 1-week pop-up in March 2018 is now a permanent part of the Headingley community. 

Since opening our doors on 12th January 2019, we have seen our team grow in every way and we are proud to say we now have 10 adults with Down syndrome working as part of our 21 Co. team every week. 

Thank you to so many individuals, local businesses and organisations who have supported us this past year, it has been one of our best adventures yet - and we still have so much more to do!

We look forward to celebrating our 1st Birthday on Sunday 12th January and we hope you can join us. 

Come and see us for a cuppa and free Birthday cake (while it lasts) this Sunday from 10:30am to 4:30pm. 

See you soon!
