together. We run a 2 week annual Summer Scheme for all of the children in the group and hi
qualif￿d assistants to l(%)k after the thildren to ensure their safety requirements are fully met. We
provide all aspects of support fr>r our ¢hildren and their famllles as and when required. We want lo
make sure the parents are happy and th* they have adequate support and infomiation to help wth
decisions they may face throughout their child's education arKI beyond. We atso provide financial
assistsnce for various reasons, for example educational aids and speech programs. We have recentty
started our own Tell Tales Speech Club. We have syml)ol qualified 3 cC￿orkerS which under the
guidance of 8 speech therapist hold weekty speech Sesslons for the children in Down's & Proud. Thi$
gives the chiklren the extra help that they need with their speech and al80 encourages friendships
￿￿thin the group. We aim lo provide support and a listening gar for th056 who want to share their
thoughts and experiences. Down's & Proud aims to raise awareness for Down's syndromè, as the
rnor8 people are aware and educated about the condition. the easler it wlll be on our children. These
benefrts are demonstrated through posrfcive feedback from parents and f8milies and the actual
iMprovem￿lS in the capabilities of the children who are involved in thg group. There Is no harm or
prNate benefit flwng from the purposes.
Achlevements and perfomianco
We have achieved 80 much throughoul the year. We have on90ing Tell Tales Sp8gch Clubs on a

$u¢cessful tsvoaweek Summer Scheme that allowed both respite care for the parents and also learning
and development for all of the children. Tho chlldren got lo go on several trips throughout the Iwo
weeks as well as Participaling in many extemal entertainment programmes that we hire into the
Summer Scheme. We splf( the actmtses so Ihat we had actmties for the younger loddlers and babi88
such as Blossom Mindfulness and Playaway Nl and other a¢livilies for the older children e. g. bovAing,
SFQrts develf4)ment and going to the cinema. We also had joint actNitie$ and entertainment such as

the children. Wè were al80 lucky enough to be be involved wlh the Win with Amiagh GAA campaign
where we donated a numbér plate and we received £100 per point Scored in any Amiagh match. This
