Crafty Plans to Celebrate WDSD 2024!!

Calling all crafters! Throughout March, as we celebrate World Down Syndrome Day, we’re asking all you knitters and crochet crafters to take on a challenge and produce a pair of socks that we can include on our giant sock bunting! You can use any pattern you'd like, or feel free to download one of ours below.  We will also be sending socks to families in Ukraine and neonatal units across the region.  So, whether you are a crochet queen or a knitting master, join our Facebook challenge and be part of something WOOLLY special this #wdsd2024


Oh, and be sure to get those socks back to us before Thursday, March 21st, so they can be included in our celebration bunting!!

"Darcey is going to walk for 21 minutes for 3 weeks in October to support DS Cheshire as her challenge for Down Syndrome awareness month!  Darcey isn’t one for walks, she loves coming in from school and chilling out doing creative stuff, so this may not sound a task to some, but for Darcey this is a physical and mental challenge. Please support her on this personal challenge which I know she will smash and all in a great cause."
