Please help us raise funds for our group! We have one place left in the York 10K! Can you help raise sponsorship and/or cover the cost to us of the race place (£22)?

Unexpectedly a place remains in our 10K team! Please help us raise funds for our group!

If anyone fancies running the York 10K on 2nd August please get in touch asap... We (YDSSG) still have 2 places up for grabs... Don't want them wasted. You'd be very welcome to join the team! We would be so grateful if runners are able to help us raise funds by asking for sponsorship (and/or simply covering the costs to us of buying their place £22)

Yesterday our “DigIt” history and archaeology club started their first excavation of an old blacksmith’s forge. They are already processing finds and have discovered the floor of the structure.

Three weeks today a group of Team YDSSG runners will be embarking on the York 10K to raise funds for our group and all the work that we do. In addition to this a YDSSG marshalling team featuring 3 of our young adults with Down Syndrome will be supporting the York 10K.
We still have discounted charity places available for the run so please get in touch asap if you might be interested in joining team YDSSG! ([email protected])
We’d be so grateful for any sponsorship for the team, which is this years big annual fundraiser, and the last year that we’ll be an official partner charity for the race. Any small amount would be gratefully received. Thank you to all who have already made a donation. We’re very grateful for your support.

On 2nd August our group will be cheering on our fabulous runners as they take on the York 10K. Our group provides support for all those with Down Syndrome, including their families, friends and carers who live in and around York. We also provide resources and support to those in other organisations....

Thank you to everyone who came along to our training session yesterday. Especially as it was a Friday after school. Really lovely feedback too 🤩🤩 we'll run the session again in September/October time for any professionals who missed it.
