That Down Syndrome Podcast
#iChooseBoard and the MP
The #iChooseBoard - our young adult advocate steering - had an exciting time recently when they met with the newly elected MP for Mid Cheshire, Andrew Cooper. After the group chairman, Ben opened the meeting and read through the morning's agenda, we spent some time finding out how everyone had spent their summer and sharing any highlights with the group. The team then reflected on the previous session when the General Election was discussed, including an easy-to-read guide on voting, before taking a well-earned tea & coffee break. Then it was time to invite Andrew and PA, Rory into the That Down Syndrome Podcast bunker where they were both quizzed by the team who asked a range of carefully curated questions - all chosen by the #iChooseBoard. It was a fantastic morning, with everyone playing their part. Andrew and Rory were such good sports for agreeing to come on the podcast and for being so thoughtful and engaging with our young adults.

This World Down Syndrome Day, our challenge was simple: We just wanted you to get up, get out, and get active for Down Syndrome Cheshire in whatever way you could, and you guys accepted the challenge brilliantly! We are so proud and incredibly grateful to everyone who was sponsored to walk further; run faster; gym harder, and Zumba crazier than they thought possible, all of which raised over £6400!! This is absolutely incredible! Well done to all of our challengers; you are ALL SUPERHEROES!
We're so grateful to everyone who took up this year's Get Active For DSC challenge to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day 2025 - including Penny, who undertook an amazing Zumba-thon with her friends and raised £761 for DSC! This is such an inspirational story, and we feel so grateful and lucky to have the support of amazing people like Penny, whose kindness and determination help us to make a difference in the lives of our Cheshire Down syndrome community.
We're so proud of mum and DSC Trustee, Anna, for challenging herself to 21 gym sessions across the WDSD month of March. In her own words, this was a real undertaking - fitting it in with a busy life and home, but she did it and managed to raise an amazing £916 in the process! Well done, Anna! You're a real inspiration, and we're so grateful for your support.
