Celebrating Every Ability, Together

Every day, Sundowns empowers families and celebrates children and young people with Down syndrome.

Your support helps us create inclusive experiences, build confidence, and bring joy to our community.

 

Your Support Makes a Real Difference

Every donation you give directly supports fun, inclusive, and life-enriching activities for children and young people with Down syndrome, and their families.

Here’s just a glimpse of what your generosity can help make happen:

💛 £15 provides refreshments and a warm welcome for one of our family activity sessions

🎭 £100 funds a creative workshop in drama, dance, or musical theatre – giving our young people space to shine.

👨‍👩‍👧 £500 makes a whole-family trip possible – like taking bowling or putting on a family disco – helping families connect, relax and have fun together.

🌈 £1,500 supports our full Summer Programme – including drama, dance, theatre, sensory activities, and inclusive adventures across the community.

You can choose to make a one off donation, or you can give monthly setting up a direct payment to us through the Just Giving website. Every penny helps us to do this vital work to support our families.

A young girl with Down syndrome strikes a triumphant pose at a bowling alley, arm raised in celebration. She’s wearing a striped T-shirt with a flower and the word “Sundown” on it. Around her, other young people and adults are engaged in the activity, with colourful bowling balls visible nearby. The setting is lively and inclusive, full of energy and joy.
Thank you for creating such a welcoming and understanding space, where we’ve felt not just included, but truly seen and supported. Your efforts might feel small to you, but they’ve made a massive difference to us.

Our Amazing Fundraisers

Two women stand smiling on either side of a vibrant Sundowns promotional banner inside a supermarket entrance. The banner features the Sundowns logo and tagline "Empowering Families, Inspiring Futures," and highlights the charity’s work supporting children with Down syndrome and their families. The banner displays colourful shapes, joyful photos of children and families, a QR code, and Sundowns' contact details. Both women are holding leaflets related to Sundowns.

Thank you to our 2025 supporters

As a small family lead charity we really do depend on the kindness and support of donors, local businesses, and funders both local and national.

Ways You Can Fundraise

Whether you’re sporty, creative, or simply love bringing people together, there’s a fundraising idea for everyone.

Every pound you raise helps Sundowns continue supporting families and celebrating the incredible contributions of individuals with Down Syndrome.

Here are some great ways to get involved:

  • Get active: Take on a walk, run, swim or cycle – on your own or as part of a team. Every step you take makes a difference.

  • Host a get-together: Organise a cake sale, coffee morning, quiz night or garden party – bring your community together for a good cause.

  • Celebrate with purpose: Mark a birthday, wedding or special milestone by asking for donations instead of gifts.

  • Try a challenge: From sponsored silences to skydives, do something daring that will inspire others to support you.
