Torchbearer story:

Almost 7 years ago my daughter was born with Down syndrome which totally turned our world upside down. I loved reading the stories of other families but struggled to meet anyone in my local area. Shortly after meeting Sharon we realised that we could make a change to the level of support currently offered and Stepping Stones DS was born. CR CR We now support over 85 families from three counties and provide a range of recreational, social and developmental activities. We live and breathe inclusion and believe that our children should have the same rights and opportunities as any other child. In order for a child to reach their potential we need to support the whole family and this is the key to everything that we do. CR CR We hope that Stepping Stones DS makes a difference but it is the children that inspire everything that we do and keep teach us that we should never limit our dreams.
