Revisiting our Awareness Roadshow 2024

Our awareness assemblies have always been a big part of our World Down Syndrome Day campaigns.


They represent a fantastic opportunity to share with schools across the region just how amazing our DS community are, how we support those members, and how the schools, with their gingerbread sock biscuits sales, help us to keep providing that support.


So, in this tenth anniversary year, Steve and the Education Advocate team took to the road once more, and delivered some amazing assemblies to schools across the region. From Ellesmere Port to Macclesfield; From Warrington down to Stoke, we presented to over 3000 pupils and staff who warmly welcomed us, and demonstrated once again just how much support, respect and kindness there is across the region for our DS community and their families.

Our 'Get Active For DSC' Fundraising Superheroes

April 3, 2025
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.

By Rebecca Goodier • April 2, 2025
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.
