REGULAR ACTIVITIES

Bereavement Workshops at DSC We are pleased to introduce a series of Bereavement Workshops at Down Syndrome Cheshire, led by Gemma from Hidden Gems CIC. These creative and supportive sessions provide a safe, relaxed space to explore feelings, emotions and thoughts around bereavement and loss. Whether someone has experienced a recent loss or is finding it difficult to process feelings surrounding bereavement, the workshops offer an opportunity to express themselves creatively, explore their emotions and share their thoughts in a way that feels comfortable for them. There is no pressure to talk; everyone can take part at their own pace. 📅 Workshop dates: Friday 9th October Friday 6th November Wednesday 18th November These sessions are open to DSC members who feel they may benefit from a little extra support, understanding and a creative space to explore their feelings. If you or someone in your family feels these sessions could be helpful, we would love you to join us.

"For anyone thinking about this, Jack and I went today and it was fab. The food was delicious and it was so nice to be in an environment where I felt relaxed if Jack kicked off and when he got quite loud (he’s not patient when he’s hungry 🤣) Will be going back next month for another cooked breakfast."

Each Friday, between 6pm - 8.30pm , we'll have a different social activity at the DSC hub in Northwich for our members and their families. Check out (and click to download a hyperlinked PDF copy of) the poster on the right to see what we have coming up through until December.
