Introducing Coacha

Starting this month, we will be using an event and activity management system called Coacha. This system will allow us to:

Add all our upcoming events
Track attendance
Store member data
Send emails directly from one place

Coacha offers significant benefits to us as a charity, including:

Reducing administration time, giving us more time to plan exciting opportunities for our members and their families!
Providing instant access to member information, such as emergency contacts, wherever we are
Utilizing safeguarding technology to keep all our families' and members' sensitive data secure

We need all members who wish to participate in any of our regular activities, such as DS Dance, all Preschool groups, and DS Drama, as well as our one-off events, such as trips to BeWILDerwood, bowling, and the Panto at Christmas, to sign up to Coacha in August.

We appreciate this is another bit of administration we are asking you to complete, however it is quick and simple to do and will save you time in the long run. We are aiming to use Coacha from September, so registration during August is essential.

Please use the link below to access any future activities and events:

Claire's October Bike Ride

September 29, 2025

Down Syndrome Awareness Month is celebrated every October to celebrate the abilities of people with Down syndrome, promote acceptance and inclusion, and raise awareness of the condition. Down Syndrome Cheshire have been a massive part of my life since before Ash was born. They have help, supported, encouraged and provided guidance in everything we have had to deal with. So this October I'm riding with the help of my DSV colleagues to raise some much needed funds for them.

Theo's October Awarness Litter Pick

September 29, 2025

Our family has been supported by DS Cheshire for nearly all of Theo’s life. His week is filled with activities run by them DS Dance, DS Drama and DS 18 + activities. We are really grateful for all the opportunities the charity gives Theo to grow, make friends and have fun. The team there truly make a difference to all of us. So we thought of what we could do for our little bit to contribute and fundraise. Theo and I have a real “pet hate” for litter and both enjoy making a difference by collecting litter if we are out on a walk or in a park. Theo has also been litter picking, with his teacher, round Chester for a few years as part of his Duke of Edinburgh tasks. So we thought for Downs Syndrome Awareness month we would ask our friends and family to sponsor Theo to collect 21 bags of rubbish over the month of October. We have started a bit early (today 28/9/25…such a lovely day to be out! ) hence the photos. Thanks in advance for helping Theo to make local environments look better whilst raising money to ensure that the future of DS Cheshire looks better too. 🙏🏻🥰
