The UpsideDowns Education Trust is now GST registered. We are now able to claim GST on funded speech and language therapy sessions. This will allow us to maximise resources available to our members and increase financial sustainability.

The third annual Tee 21 Charity Golfing Day was a magnificent success with scores of enthusiastic golfers and their families raising much needed funds for speech and language therapy.

This World Down Syndrome Day, Friday, 21 March, our Tee 21 golfing day returns!

Dear UpsideDowns Members and Supporters,

As we approach the end of another busy year, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on our journey and share some positive updates with you…

Giving Tuesday is on 3 December, 2024. We aim to raise $25,000 to give the gift of speech this Christmas.

Our biggest thank you to everyone who made it to the UpsideDowns ‘Share the Dream’ gala on Saturday 14 September in the World Cup Lounge at Eden Park. What a way to celebrate our 21st Birthday and bring back Share the Dream 10 years later!

We’re very excited to tee off for our fundraising golf tournament in Hastings, Tee 21, on 11 March.

UpsideDowns was recently visited by one of our favourite Christmas helpers, Dame Denise L'Estrange-Corbet, who led a workshop to create some beautiful cards to gift to friends and whānau these holidays.

October is a time to celebrate the abilities and wonderful accomplishments of people with Down syndrome.
