Enabling children with Down syndrome to maximise their potential

** Downright Excellent is as busy as ever delivering therapy and educational activity sessions to our children and young people throughout the pandemic so we still need your support! Please consider making a regular or one-off donation, or selecting Downright Excellent as your chosen charity when you shop through Amazon Smile or Easyfundraising. Or why not come up with your own fundraising event – however big or small – that fits in with the new normal so we can continue to make a real difference to the lives of children and young people with Down syndrome across London? **
