The Hilton In the Community
Foundation - customers and staff of the Hilton Glasgow Grosvenor raised over
£1000 - thanks! Last year the swimmers minibus and associated costs were funded by Kwik Fit Insurance Services www.Kwik-FitInsurance.com, who also supplied the team with T -shirts. Thanks! Emma Young raised £260 with a sponsored 10 K run. Also the staff and customers of Greenock Telegraph, PO Box 12, Greenock who recently handed in their collecting tin with £51.71p. Edward McKillop collected £40 from neighbours, pupils and teachers of his primary school, Caldercuilt primary, Glasgow, and thanks also - once again - to Amanda of the Hut Shop and her customers for their tremendous continuing support. Help please! We provide new parents right across the West of Scotland with information, advice and counselling following the birth of their child with Down's syndrome. We can also help with education issues and organise adventure sports for young people. Our free social events are fairly legendary, from glitzy theatre trips to theme parks, we like to have fun! And many of our members are now adults with DS who make a valued contribution to their own communities in all kinds of amazing ways, from paid employment through to independent living. Please help with a donation or as a volunteer – people with DS have the same dreams as everyone else, but they do have extra support needs and you can help them to achieve their full potential. We are not professional fundraisers just volunteers and we employ no staff, so every penny goes directly to support the children and adults with DS and their families.
