Who we are

We have been supporting people with Down’s syndrome, their families and carers and all those with an interest in Down’s syndrome since the group was founded in 1984.

The Swindon Down’s Syndrome Group are a local charity who champion and support people with Down’s syndrome in Swindon and the surrounding area including Fairford, Malmesbury, Hungerford, Pewsey, Marlborough, Hullavington, Chippenham, Devizes, Calne, Ashton Keynes, Cirencester, Aldbourne, Bromham, Melksham and Cheltenham.

We started as a small group of parents who met for coffee and provided each other with support. As time passed, more parents connected with the group and in 2003 we became a charity in our own right.

We are a volunteer led charity, meaning everyone that has an active role in the Swindon Down’s Syndrome Group gives up their time to because of their love of the group.

We are very fortunate to be supported by our fantastic trustees and volunteers.

Our vision

We are here to help people with Down’s syndrome to have the same opportunities as everyone else and raise awareness of Down’s syndrome in our local community.
