Learning for Life - Growing Up and Keeping Safe

As part of our continuing support for our 18yrs+ members, our employment & enterprise lead, Lucy McLaren, is hosting a series of mini-seminars delivered under the title Learning for Life - Growing Up and Keeping Safe. These informal and interactive weekly sessions cover a wide range of topics centred around the personal development of our young adult members.


Learning for Life is a project created by our friends at Learn and Thrive and covers personal health, emotions, relationships, and appropriate behaviour. Learn and Thrive have built this programme to support young people in primary and secondary school and beyond. The Learn and Thrive team explain that Learning for Life provides critical teaching on key social and emotional development areas, and we're delighted to say that our members, pictured below, engaged brilliantly, with everyone demonstrating a better understanding of the subject areas discussed over the course of the sessions.


As an organisation driven to support and empower, we felt so fortunate to have access to such a wonderful array of print and digital resources to support the effective delivery of such vital life skills to our membership.

Fundraising for DSC - It’s not about how fast or fit you are. It’s about stepping up for something that matters, creating connections, and making a difference.

Bag a DSC Place Just get in touch here if you fancy running running in support of individuals with Down syndrome and their families. There’s no entry fee , but we do ask for a minimum fundraising pledge of £200 (excluding Gift Aid). Every step you take helps us make a difference. Already Have Your Own Place? You can still run with Team DSC! If you’ve already signed up (or plan to) and want to fundraise for our cause, we’d love to have you on board. There’s no minimum sponsorship—just raise what you can and help us spread awareness and support. Every mile you run helps us go the extra mile for the community we serve. Is this you? Let us know here to get onboard!

In December, two of our amazing volunteers, Evie and Paige , attended the CWVA Volunteer Awards after both being shortlisted for awards recognising the incredible work they do here at Down Syndrome Cheshire. We are so grateful that their dedication, passion, and hard work were recognised at such a special event. We are especially proud to share that Evie won her category and was named Young Volunteer of the Year , a truly well-deserved achievement! Thank you, Evie and Paige, for everything you do for our charity and our community. We couldn’t do this without you
