Section C
Objectives and activities
Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document
Provide resources and services for persons affected by Down’s Syndrome and/or other additional needs to include the advancement of education and the medical professions.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
At our planning meetings, we keep in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. Our main activities normally include:-
Swimming Classes
Children are helped to engage in specially tailored swimming sessions, some with parents and/or siblings in the pool to promote confidence and the more advanced children partake on their own. These sessions run multiple times over each weekend. Where required and appropriate, children not progressing through regular sessions are given fully funded private sessions.
Music Classes
Our music classes have been scaled back but take place occasionally at our monthly Drop in
Drop-in Sessions
We host a monthly family oriented drop-in with activities for all of the family.
Advice/Education
We offer warm, positive advice to parents, especially those who have children who are newly diagnosed with extra needs.
Speech Therapy
We offer Speech Therapy with a local authority approved therapist monthly to supplement a local hiatus. Currently 10 children benefit from this activity.
