Calderdale Down's Syndrome Group

History and Background to our registered charity

1976

the Halifax Down's Babies Association is formed by a group of parents, some of which are still active with us today.  They had meetings at each others houses.

Several years later

as the Down's Syndrome Association is renamed, so is our group to Calderdale Down's Syndrome Association.
Early 1998 we officially becomes a branch of the Down's Syndrome Association and are know as the Down's Syndrome Association - Calderdale Branch.
November 2001 having been suggest by the Down's Syndrome Association, the Calderdale Group begins proceeds to become an independent charity.
August 2002 the group is renamed to Calderdale Down's Syndrome Group with our own charity number: 1093266
