DOWN'S SYNDROME LONDON (Formerly the Down's Syndrome Association London Branch, Affiliation to the Down's Syndrome Association applied for). |
|
The Down's Syndrome Association London Branch was formed in June 2000 to try to meet the needs of a number of young children with Down's Syndrome and their families. Along with most other DSA branches we have now become a separate entity as requested by the DSA in 2002. This will enable us to fundraise from sponsors who do not give to branches of national charities and handle our own financial affairs. If you are interested in helping us please contact us.

Projects:
The Branch is building a database of facilities for people with Down's Syndrome that could be accessed on line. We need IT experts who can help us with this. We are also arranging for specialist Occupational Therapy to be available free at the point of service.
