About Sunshine & Smiles

Sunshine & Smiles is a registered charity that provides a support network in Leeds for children and young people who have Down syndrome and their families.

We set up in 2011 as a small group offering support in the city and became an official charity in 2013. We are the only specific support network in Leeds and fulfil a vital role in the community.

The Leeds Down Syndrome Support Network is parent led and overseen by a team of four trustees.

We aim to improve the lives and opportunities for children and young people with Down syndrome.

We offer speech and language therapy, regular groups and activities, individual support and advocacy for families, as well as raising awareness and challenging preconceptions in the wider community.

We are able to achieve this by establishing links with hospitals, health and education professionals and connecting with other related charities.
