Children and families

All of what we do relies on children and their families volunteering to either come to see us or welcome us in their homes and schools. Our warmest thanks to (please, follow the links for further information on each group):

• Local schools, nurseries and families

• The Downs Syndrome Educational Trust

• The Fragile X Society, UK

• The Williams Syndrome Foundation, UK

• Unique
