The launch of the #IChooseBoard

What an incredible day we had at Down Syndrome Cheshire we launched our #IChooseBoard. A board led by members with #Downsyndrome to ensure their voices are heard on a local and national stage. Learners from The Petty Pool Trust joined us to share their views.

We were also lucky enough to have guest speakers from the National Down Syndrome Policy Group; we had Fionn, Jonathan Angus, and Ed Daly as Chair and facilitator on the National Advisory Board. They spoke about their work with Parliament to shape the #DownSyndromeAct

We are delighted about how many members showed an interest in being part of our #IChooseBoard. We are looking forward to our next meeting. If you are interested in joining then please get in contact with Lucy by emailing her at lucym@dscheshire.org.uk

We are incredibly proud of Theo, who has raised an amazing amount of money for Down Syndrome Cheshire before and after his heart surgery last year. His determination and positivity continue to inspire us all. It was fantastic to see Theo sharing his story on ITV Granada News, and thanks to the interview almost £500 was raised in just one day! 🙌 Theo still has 3 more bags of litter to collect to complete his challenge — so there’s still time to support him by clicking the button below to visit his Just Giving page. Y ou can also join Theo for his final bag collection on World Down Syndrome Day (21 March) at the DSC Hub a nd help him cross the finish line. 👉 Book your space here: https://www.trybooking.com/uk/FZQY If you missed the interview, you can watch it here: Teen with Down Syndrome on a mission to tidy Northwich and raise money for charity | ITV News Grana… We couldn’t be prouder of you, Theo. 💙👏
