We are a small family-led charity (the East Lincolnshire Down’s Syndrome Family Support Group) based in Boston, Lincolnshire. Our core activities are a fortnightly ‘play and stay’ session and a monthly Special Olympics:Lincolnshire multi-sports session.

Our project ‘Cooking for Life’ is about teaching our members and their siblings the basics of cooking in order to develop independent living skills. We have our cooking sessions at the same time as our ‘stay and play’ sessions.

We also hope that it provides an additional activity for our members as they grow older so that the group can naturally evolve as our children and their interests do.
