THE Downs Syndrome Group meets once a month. It is a friendly group for children with Down's syndrome and their families. Its aims are to have fun, support and share information with one another.

There is a programme of events, mainly held at the Greencroft children's centre in Hereford. In March the group planted spring flowers. The April meeting is on Saturday at 10am with Easter crafts and an Easter egg hunt.

Please call Beatrix on 07813 778012 or Fiona on 07946 414203 for more information about the group.

March 17-23 was Down's syndrome awareness week, which provides a focus on campaigning and targeting issues for people with this condition.
