About Us

The Greater Manchester Branch of the Down's Syndrome Association is a parent led support group.  We provide information for parents, carers and professionals on all matters concerning Down's syndrome. Most of us care for a child or adult who has Down's syndrome. We provide information and advice through our courses, newsletter and library. Social events for the family are arranged so that families can meet one another. Committee members meet regularly and anyone is welcome to attend and lend a hand. We can arrange for new parents to be introduced to other parents for advice or just a listening ear.

GMDSA Library Resources List

Please note that our main website and resource list needs to be added to and revised. This will be done as soon as possible.
    
Our website includes much of what you see on this page as well as newsletters, e.g. Issue 14 and details of Annual General Meetings.

Once you have viewed the resource list you may collect them  from the library itself which is attached to the Health Promotion Resources and Information Service, Greenfield Street, Hyde.
