We’re creating a welcoming, accessible space where our groups, therapies, family support and employment pathways can grow together under one roof.
As we get ready to move into our new home at Acclaim House very soon, we’re reaching out for your support.
Moving into a new space comes with lots of costs, from decorating and furnishing to creating a sensory and quiet space, equipping our café and covering the costs of moving and setting everything up. Your support will make a huge difference as we get the space ready and help us continue to support more children and young people with Down syndrome and their families. And we’d really love people to get involved with fundraising. It could be anything from a sponsored challenge to a cake sale, quiz night or something completely different!
We’ve set up a fundraising link that you can use to collect donations and share with friends, family, colleagues or anyone who would like to support your fundraising. https://localgiving.org/fundraising/sunshineatacclaimhouse
We’ll also be asking for help with the practical side of the move in the coming days, including moving and setting up furniture and equipment.
We thank you for all your support and can’t wait to be up and running in our new home!
