DSActive recently had a chat with Anna and Dan. They wanted to discuss their active lives.

The event was for people with a learning disability to find out more about keeping well and living an active life. The DSActive team were there to provide information on the programme, our nutrition campaign and promote the DSActive sessions in the area.

As we reach the half way point of #Challenge21, our campaign to raise awareness of Trisomy 21, we spoke to 3 of the DSActive team about what challenges they have chosen, and how they are finding it!

The DSActive team this year will be welcoming a new member of staff to the team thanks to a generous grant from the City Bridge Trust. This grant has enabled the team to add a new Sports Officer who will be responsible for all our activity within London.

The DSActive National Festival is the teams’ flagship event every year. Last year, over 150 people with Down’s syndrome played in the festival for their respective teams and the event is always a special day for the players, parents and coaches.
