We’d like to give a very special Sunshine & Smiles thank you to Maja-Isobel Bernadino Lawson for raising £72 for Sunshine & Smiles.
Maja-Isobel is the big sister of one of our Sunshine & Smilers, Emilia, and she raised the money by making greetings cards and selling them to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day back in March.
Thank you so much, Maja-Isobel - every penny that you’ve raised will go directly towards supporting children and young people with Down syndrome and their families; whether that’s Speech & Language sessions, transport for families, or paying our trained staff to support families or help our young adults into training and work.
