About
Up on Downs is a charity founded by parents to support the families of children who have Down’s Syndrome. We give parent to parent support and information through a range of events designed to improve family networks, promote learning and develop skills for families and those supporting them. Throughout the year we arrange meetings and activities for the children, their siblings and carers. These include regular drop-in sessions, speech development, visits from specialists, and outings. We also provide personalised signposting and advice on services, education and development.

Further information
Most activities are free or are subsidised for the members of the charity and their families. Our Symbol-based Speech communication groups require a contribution to costs. Up on Downs has been connecting families and creating better conditions for children and young people with Down’s Syndrome since 2005 and is affiliated with the Down’s Syndrome Association.
