Watch this video to find out what we do!
Downright Excellent (DEx) provides vital support to children and young people aged 0-17 with Down syndrome, and their families, including communication and life skills, essential therapies, educational play, fun and social activities such as music, keep fit, science workshops, plus invaluable training and support for parents, carers, siblings and schools.
The majority of small group learning sessions run on Friday mornings for ages 0-4 and Saturday mornings for ages 5-17. Some groups meet during the week at different times. All our services are currently being delivered online due to the covid pandemic. We hope to return to face to face sessions at the Sundial Centre in Hoxton as soon as it is safe and feasible to do so.
For more information about these sessions, please contact beth@downrightexcellent.org

Enabling children with Down syndrome to maximise their potential
In the following film, some of our families talk about their experience of Down syndrome and Downright Excellent. Please note that we are operating entirely online at the moment while we are unable to meet at the Sundial Centre due to the pandemic:
** Downright Excellent is as busy as ever delivering therapy and educational activity sessions to our children and young people throughout the pandemic so we still need your support! Please consider making a regular or one-off donation, or selecting Downright Excellent as your chosen charity when you shop through Amazon Smile or Easyfundraising. Or why not come up with your own fundraising event – however big or small – that fits in with the new normal so we can continue to make a real difference to the lives of children and young people with Down syndrome across London? **
