We’re overwhelmed by the positive response we’ve had this year from so many schools, businesses, community groups and individuals and we can’t thank them enough. The last 12 months have been busier than ever for our charity and we have continued to grow with two new staff, three charity awards and the launch of exciting new projects. This World Down Syndrome Day we reflect on what’s been a very busy year but we also start making plans for the days and months ahead when we will continue to do our utmost to make sure that people with Down’s syndrome fulfil their potential and are recognised as valuable, respected champions of our community.” Schools, businesses, community groups and even the Prime Minister have lent their support to Cheshire Down’s Syndrome Support Group’s (CDSSG) awareness campaign this year. Dog owners and their pooches marked the day with a charity dog walk that took place at Marbury Park in Northwich and fundraisers will gather at Hartford Hall on 23rd March for a 21.3-mile moochathon walk along the Whitegate Way. A mini mooch of 2.13km will take place for younger participants.
