Event: Lombard Yorkshire and North Derbyshire Bring Me Sunshine, on 22 May 2020
We support people with Down syndrome to improve lives & opportunities in Leeds.

Story

We are supporting Sunshine & Smiles a registered charity that is that provides a support network in Leeds for children and young people who have Down syndrome and their families. They set up in 2011 as a small group offering support in the city and became an official charity in 2013. They are the only specific support network in Leeds and fulfil a vital role in the community. They aim to improve the lives and opportunities for children and young people with Down syndrome. Sunshine & Smiles offer speech and language therapy, regular groups and activities, individual support and advocacy for families, as well as raising awareness and challenging preconceptions in the wider community. They are able to achieve this by establishing links with hospitals, health and education professionals and connecting with other related charities. This is a charity the Lombard Yorkshire & North Derbyshire wanted to support during these challenging times, whilst raising some money and hopefully having some fun and laughter along the way. We hope our video makes you all smile as much as it has made us J.
