The project will use their grant to set up a support group in each county across NI, offering a place where people over 40 with Down's Syndrome & their carers can meet & share their experiences, get advice & form social networks. The project will also offer weekend residential events where they will offer a range of activities for individuals, respite for their carers & a befriending scheme where volunteers are matched with an older person to encourage them to take part in activities and courses.
