Welcoming 15 families from Down Syndrome North East to our Alan Shearer Activity Centre was one of the many highlights this Down Syndrome Awareness Month.
Our hydrotherapy pool and sensory rooms were the perfect places for the group of youngsters to burn off excess energy – or restore calm and relaxation after all the excitement. And our sociable young visitors had tons of playmates to join them in all the fun and games on offer.
“The families came along for a special coffee morning,” said Senior Recreation Assistant, Heather. “Mums and dads really enjoyed the opportunity to share stories and advice while all the children had a whale of a time!”
