We’d like to give a big Sunshine & Smiles THANK YOU To all the individuals and organisations who fundraised for us last Thursday on World Down Syndrome Day.
We haven’t yet got the full details of all the events that took place, but when we do we’ll be sharing them with you.
We’re very grateful for all the support we get - every penny donated to Sunshine & Smiles goes 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.
We created some videos for Sunshine & Smiles and 21 Co. to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day. The videos focused on the themes of #EndtheStereotypes and #AssumeThatICan
