Gala screening of 'Cinderella' at Event Cinemas Parramatta. The Lady Mayoress of Parramatta, Kirsty Lloyd, has chosen DS NSW as one of her charities for 2015. Strictly for grown-up princesses, the night will feature champagne, pamper packs and fabulous raffle prizes from local Parramatta businesses. The Down Syndrome NSW office has been located in the Parramatta area for 35 years and we are delighted that the Lady Mayoress has chosen to support our work across the state. Further details, including ticket price and how to book, will be announced soon, so stay tuned.
Down Syndrome NSW is going big with City2Surf this year! We truly believe that with the right support, people with Down syndrome can lead a fulfilling and successful life. Josiah Bamber for example is a fit, active and engaged teenager with his whole life ahead of him. We think he is pretty awesome, so that is why he is our poster boy for this year’s City2Surf. He is currently in training to run the City2Surf in 2015. Why not join him?
