🌟 Thank you, Courtney! 🌟

A big Down Right Brilliant thank‑you to Courtney Potts, Research Associate on Ulster University’s My Life with Down Syndrome study, for coming up today to meet some of our members & local people with Down Syndrome.

This research is looking at the health, development and lived experiences of children and adults with Down syndrome across Northern Ireland and it means so much to have our families’ voices included. We’re proud to be involved in a project that’s helping shape better understanding and better support for the future.

Well done to all our members who’ll be wearing their watches this week and helping collect valuable data 💛🩵

🌟 Volunteers’ Week at Down Right Brilliant 🌟

This week, we celebrate the people who make our community shine, our incredible volunteers.

From our Saturday morning team, to our youth club helpers, to the parents who roll up their sleeves at events, and the trustees who quietly guide everything we do… every single one of you brings heart, kindness, and commitment to our families.

💛 Thank you for giving your time, your energy, and your compassion. Down Right Brilliant simply wouldn’t be the same without you.
Happy Volunteers’ Week — we are so grateful for each and every one of you. 🩵
