Welcome to
Wakefield and District
Down’s Syndrome
Support Group!

We’re a small volunteer-run charity, supporting families in Wakefield and surrounding areas. We aim to bring families together to create a network of support and make a difference, and to have fun and build friendships along the way.

About Us

We’re a volunteer-led charity – run by parents and carers of children and young people with Down’s syndrome – working throughout the Wakefield and nearby areas.

What’s On

We offer loads of activities for children with Down’s syndrome of all ages (and their siblings) so you’ll find plenty of ways to get involved.
