About us
Nominate UpsideDowns Education Trust and Give a Voice to Kiwi Kids with Down Syndrome.
Join us in supporting the UpsideDowns Education Trust, a remarkable charity founded in 2003 by parents of children with Down syndrome. We are on a mission to provide essential speech-language therapy for kids with Down syndrome, empowering them to communicate, learn, and thrive. Learning to speak can be a significant challenge for children with Down syndrome, but we are changing that narrative. By funding speech-language therapy, we are giving a voice to kids with Down syndrome across New Zealand and equipping them with the skills to talk, read, and write. With your nomination, you can help us ensure that every child has the best possible start in life. Currently, we support over 300 children from Northland to Southland, bridging the gap in access to crucial intervention therapy. By nominating UpsideDowns Education Trust, you can play a vital role in improving the learning development of these incredible children. Your nomination will help us expand our reach, reduce the waitlist, and create a future where all kids with Down syndrome can access the life-enriching benefits of speech-language therapy. Take action now and nominate UpsideDowns Education Trust. Together, we can give a voice to kids with Down syndrome, empower their journey, and make a lasting impact on their lives and the community as a whole.
