At Stepping Stones DS, we are proud to be a family of families, supporting children and young people with Down syndrome. Founded in 2006 by local families seeking connection, understanding and practical support, we have grown into a trusted local charity rooted in the communities of Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire. Today, we work alongside more than 170 families, providing educational, social and physical activities that help our members build confidence, friendships and independence. Our mission is to give every child and young person with Down syndrome the building blocks they need to fulfil their potential and follow their dreams.

Legacy giving helps to secure the future of Stepping Stones DS by providing vital funds that enable us to run our educational, social and physical activities, ensuring children and young people with Down syndrome, can continue to access the support, opportunities and community they need to thrive.
