The project encompasses the DSActive and DSEngage programmes which both aim to improve the physical and mental health of people who have Down’s syndrome and have a positive impact on their well-being. Benefits are gained by people who have Down’s syndrome and their families, resulting in positive outcomes for society as a whole.
The DSEngage Programme offers a wide range of free online activity sessions, ranging from discos and exercise sessions through to art and craft and gardening activities. The programme enables access to participation in activity for anyone who has Down’s syndrome regardless of age, level of physical ability, mental health, where they live or who with, or their financial circumstances.
The DSActive Programme increases the participation of people who have Down’s syndrome in leisure, recreational and sporting activities. Its aim is to support as many opportunities for successful participation and inclusion in activity as possible.
