Welcome to RODS

• Offering to speak to new parents who have had a baby with Down's syndrome
• Providing information packs to Rotherham hospital to give to new parents, or prospective new parents
• Information and advice on how to get the best support for people with Down's syndrome
• Educational resources
• Christmas parties
• Trips to pantomimes, zoos, theme parks,
• Creating opportunities for community to develop through social gatherings eg teddy bears picnic, meals together at a restaurant, meeting at a pub, etc

We also need YOU to tell us what you'd like, what help you need, etc - we only exist for you. Join in.
