To all our families, customers, partners & supporters
Given the current government guidance regarding social distancing and non-essential social gatherings we have taken the very difficult decision to temporarily suspend all our groups, face to face sessions, activities and to close 21 Co.
This decision has not been made lightly and we know it has many implications for many people.
We are still available by telephone and email for advice, support & signposting – please don’t hesitate to get in touch at any time:
Telephone: 07725041601 and Email: hello@sunshineandsmiles.org.uk
We will be reviewing national & local government guidelines daily and will let people know of any other significant changes.
Please also see this link for the most recent guidance on Corona virus and people with Down syndrome via the Down Syndrome Medical Interest Group
We will also be looking at ways to offer support remotely or virtually; for example, creating resources to share via video clips, live streaming of activities such as music and movement and possibly virtual meet ups where people can actually ‘meet’ online via apps such as Zoom – we will keep you posted once we have been able to think about and plan some of these ideas.
For any of our families who are self-isolating or who are concerned about being isolated please do email, message or ring us if we can help in any way.
We will also keep in touch with families where we are doing ongoing pieces of individual work & support. Any planned meetings will be subject to review on the day of the planned meeting and will also depend on potential school closures or self-isolation.
We have such a wonderful community around us all, we will be able to offer each other support & care during this unprecedented & unpredictable time … please stay in touch and let us know how we can look after each other!
With love from everyone at Sunshine & Smiles and 21 Co.
