Sunshine & Smiles

National Lottery grant

We’re delighted to announce that we’ve received a £20,000 grant from the National Lottery Community Fund!

This funding will help to fund all of our ongoing activities and costs, and help us to continue to provide all of our groups, activities, speech & language therapy, transport and support work for children and young people with Down syndrome and their families,  free to access for all.

Here are just a few quotes from the members of our network about what Sunshine & Smiles and 21 Co. means to them…

"To us, Sunshine & Smiles means a lifeline of support and understanding."

"Sunshine & Smiles gives us hope for the future!"

"Working at 21 Co. has given me the opportunity to learn new skills that will hopefully help me get a job!"

"Sunshine & Smiles for us is information, support, sense of community and fun!"
