Here is a little more information about them:

Ups and Downs Southwest is a local charity whose main office is based just outside of Bridgwater, Somerset. With a second office just opened in Bristol, our aim is to support families, professionals and all those involved in the care and education of children and young people with Down Syndrome across the Southwest. 

We provide advice and support from 0 to 25 years. Offering face to face support, assistance with benefit and education forms, an advocacy service, family days, children and young people activities, advice and support for professionals, training events, an education advice service and most importantly, our time and understanding.

The family support team comprised of professional support workers and team leaders all with differing backgrounds; some members of the team have a child with Down Syndrome or other disability and have personal knowledge and experience of the struggles that may lie ahead as well as knowing how important it is to celebrate the achievements.

We currently support over 300 families in the Southwest.
