🎵 Meet the unstoppable Dom Bennett!

This year, Dom has been raising money for Down's Syndrome Manchester and our friends at Venture Arts (through Standoutsocks' Project Empowerment), with sales of his incredible artwork and merchandise. Now, he's added musician to his growing list of achievements with the release of his album, Intergalactic Domination.

We're particularly keen on track 2, titled 'DSM' - a tribute to our charity and all his friends who are part of the DSM community.

We're so proud of you, Dom. Your creativity, passion and determination inspire us.💙💛

That’s a wrap on day one of our Summer Holiday Club! ☀️😀

What a fantastic start to the week! We’ve spent the day playing, reading, solving jigsaws and making the most of the sunshine with lots of outdoor fun. 🌳📚🧩

Our young adventurers got creative with arts and crafts and had plenty of messy fun with water and sand play too! 🎨🖼️💦🪣

A big thank you to Gareth from Mini Athletics for joining us in the garden for some energetic games, followed by an exciting drama session. 👏🎭

A brilliant day all round. Roll on day two 🥳

Holiday Club feedback from last summer that made us smile! 😀

"He absolutely loved his week! It was great that this had structure, play and learning – all the things our child needs during the summer."

We're so proud to provide a fun, supportive and inclusive Holiday Club where children can thrive, make friends and enjoy new experiences.

We are so excited to welcome members for this Summer's club on Monday!

A big thank you to our fantastic team, volunteers and helpers who make it all happen! 💙 💛

We've loved hearing this wonderful feedback from our 'Speak Up' self-advocacy group...

🌟 Why our Speak Up User Group matters 🌟

Our members tell us that 'Speak Up' is a place to learn, grow, build confidence and make friends. Together, we discuss important topics affecting people with Down's syndrome, learn about staying safe, and support each other to have our voices heard.

Members love being part of the Down’s Syndrome Manchester family, making new friendships, and having fun along the way (with some good food too!).

Parents tell us it's a fantastic opportunity for members to develop communication skills, build independence, and play an active role in shaping our community.

We're so proud of this supportive, empowering group and the amazing members who make it what it is. 💛 💙
