Yes, our young people need help and support, and we shouldn't shy away from that, but it is about having fun and making Down syndrome just part of who someone is, not what they are. But for our parents, it's a huge deal, right?

The building is here, obviously, all the time, so we don't fill it 24-7, seven days a week. We are very much open to members of the community coming

Yeah, absolutely. We've had a whole range of inquiries. We're actually also members of Reigate Business Guild because we want to be very much part of the community. So, you know, there's a lot that we can do here.

PSDS is responsible for that and responsible for finding the funding. So, of course, if people would like to get involved in fundraising or make donations, we welcome that. But we're very proactive ourselves in raising funds, as is our membership of families.

Absolutely, it's something that we're all very committed to for a very long time. We have amazing young people who just need a bit of extra support to be able to reach their full potential. We're very much about seeing our young people as individuals, and we believe every individual should have access to the same opportunities as their siblings, as their peers.

We just recognise, because we know as parents, we see it firsthand, our young people just need some extra support to be able to achieve their full potential. We do it because we're parents supporting our own children. It's been our privilege to do that for the last 20 years, as Vicky said. It was never the intention when we first met, I doubt, to start a charity.

We do it because we know how important it is and what a difference it makes, primarily for our children and young people who have Down syndrome, but for their family as a whole, and particularly parents, as Vicky said, who are sometimes very startled and bewildered at that early time of the uncertainty of what this diagnosis might mean. If we can help at least one family

to start you know really enjoying and just getting to know who their child is and seeing their ability and seeing that family and that child flourish that's why we do it.
