DS Louth / Meath believes in supporting families to ensure the best quality of life possible for our members with Down syndrome. We work together, united in our aim to achieve respect, acceptance and equality within society for our members with Down syndrome.
At the Branch AGM on 29th of May 2024, the members of the Down Syndrome Ireland Louth Meath Branch have agreed to provide a funding scheme for branch members to help cover the cost of therapies, and sports / recreational activities in 2024 that will be of benefit to our members with Down syndrome.
