Our mission

To support people with Down's Syndrome, their families and raise awareness of the positive contribution people with Down's Syndrome make to society.

Our charity Sundowns was formed when small group of mums who had children with Down's Syndrome regularly started getting together at the Toy Library and Resource Centre in Birkenhead, Wirral.

We found it comfortable to be in the company of others who had been through the life changing experience of having a baby who has Down's Syndrome. Sharing experiences, providing advice and offering support through some anxious and many happy times.

We decided that it was important to offer the same support to other mums as we believe that the opportunity to talk to someone who has been through the same experience can stop you from feeling isolated and alone. Since then Sundowns has gone from strength to strength, proving respite care, support groups, buddy walks and much more.

So if you need some support or just want to share your many happy experiences get in touch with Sundowns today.
