We currently have gremlins in our email system and we do not seem to be getting all emails and some people are not getting ours!
We are working to get it back to normal as soon as possible

If you have emailed Kate this week to book an activity and she has not replied, this will be because your email was not received, so please call the office on 01344 266899 (Monday - Friday 10am-4pm)

For people who have Down’s syndrome:

The Government wants to hear from people who have Down’s syndrome and other learning disabilities/genetic conditions.

They want to know what you think about the draft Down Syndrome Act guidance.

This guidance is about your rights and the support you must and should get.

•Your ideas are important.

•You can say what works well for you and what more help you need.

You can read the Easy Read guidance and questions here: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/down-syndrome-act-2022-draft-statutory-guidance-easy-read

You can ask someone you trust to help you answer the questions.

You can also use our Easy Read guide to help you take part:https://www.downs-syndrome.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Policy-Consultations-_A-Guide_Easy-Read_FINAL-VERSION_09.12.25.pdf
