WELCOME TO THE CORNWALL DOWN’S SYNDROME SUPPORT GROUP’S WEBSITE
A charity run by families affected by Down’s syndrome living in Cornwall
What we do
We offer families a chance to meet, socialise and share information, friendship and support. During the year we organise many fun days out and trips away as well as our annual winter party.
Our new parent support team warmly welcomes parents with a recent diagnosis.

Family Support
We offer regular family support groups every month throughout Cornwall. These groups provide an ideal opportunity for families to meet with others, chat, share experiences and information whilst the children play.
Please visit the family support page to find out more
Fundraising
Fundraising is not only key to building awareness of our cause but also vitally important to the survival of the Charity. Yearly events are organised for all to come along to, enjoy and support.
