Empowering Lives, Celebrating Potential

Building a brighter future for individuals with Down syndrome and their families living on the Wirral.

Sundowns is a vibrant Wirral-based charity supporting and empowering people with Down syndrome and their families.

We champion advocacy, foster connection, and take a bold, positive approach to every challenge.

We’re here to create opportunities, celebrate every achievement, and inspire brighter futures together.

At Sundowns, we believe that everyone has the potential to thrive.

Since 2000, we’ve worked hand in hand with families to create an inclusive, supportive community where individuals with Down syndrome are celebrated.

From early childhood to young adulthood, we’re here to inspire confidence, share joyful moments, and champion brighter futures.
