Canterbury Down Syndrome Association

CDSA supports people with Down syndrome and their families aiming to help improve the quality of life for people who have Down syndrome.

Canterbury

CDSA is all about supporting people who have Down syndrome and their families. Our aim is to help improve the quality of life for people who have Down syndrome and who have long term health and education challenges. We work to ensure that all persons with Down syndrome are valued and contributing members of the community and are actively participating and connecting in the community.

As we receive no government funding and rely completely on grants, fund-raising and kind donations to continue our services, we would be most grateful for any donations. Funds donated would go towards our general operational costs such as office hire/web hosting fees/accounting fees.
