Down Syndrome Group Northamptonshire (NSGN) is a local charity run by people with direct experience of Down Syndrome.

They are holding a Black Tie Charity Ball in March and have approached local suppliers for sponsorship to help them raise the essential funds needed to support families who have a child or a young adult with Down Syndrome.

With our donation of £1,000 they can continue to help the 60 families within the county who benefit from the opportunities the charity is able to provide. This includes Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Down Syndrome football, Special needs gymnastics and family day trips.

If you wish to make your own donation you can do so by contacting Mrs Vanessa Jones on 01604 833643 or 07774 792276 or by emailing NDSGN007@yahoo.co.uk
