DSO&Co MONTHLY NEWSLETTER

OCTOBER 2026 | OUR FIRST EDITION!

Creating opportunities. Building connections.

We have officially launched!

October has been a very exciting month as DSO&Co officially launched on 1 October!

After lots of planning and preparation, it's been wonderful to get things underway and start creating opportunities for children, young people and adults with Down syndrome.

We're delighted with how our first month has gone and can't wait to see what the future brings. Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far!

A BIG THANK YOU!

Thank you to all our families, young people, volunteers, supporters and organisations who have been part of our first month. Whether you've attended an activity, shared a post or helped spread the word, we really appreciate it!

A special thank you to CrossFit Timekeeper for their fantastic Pumpkin Auction! Ed, a member of CrossFit Timekeeper, grew and auctioned off his pumpkins raising an amazing £250 for DSO&Co!

We're incredibly grateful for this support, which will help us continue creating opportunities and activities.

And this is just the beginning!
