Breaking Barriers: Empowering
Children with Down’s Syndrome to thrive
In a world where every child deserves the chance to flourish, there are still barriers that stand in the way of realising this vision for some. But amidst these challenges, 21 Together – a charity dedicated to supporting children and young people with Down’s syndrome across Kent and Medway, is forging new services to ensure children and young people can live full and vibrant lives.
Providing specialist support aimed at lifechanging social and communication skills for individuals from birth to 25 years old, the charity creates spaces where children can develop these skills, alongside essential community support services for families needing help navigating the system.
One service user commented: “Everything that I have accessed for Daniel and us with community support has been invaluable. Thank you so much. We are very proud to be part of 21 Together! To see Daniel growing in confidence is down to 21 Together – we couldn’t do it without you!” www.21together.org.uk
Since the charity started, 21 Together has witnessed the profound impact of its work, not only on the children they serve but also on their families. Eight years later, 21 Together is expanding its reach, opening a new centre in Thanet to replicate their projects to help even more families.
As 21 Together continues to break down barriers and empower children with Down’s syndrome to thrive, they remind us that every action we take has purpose. They are not just providing services, they are building a brighter future for all. Join them on their mission, and let’s create a world where every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
