Down With It is a welcoming parent-led Down Syndrome Support Group based in Croydon. Set up by local mums, the group provides reassurance, friendship, and practical support for families with a child who has Down syndrome. They meet every second Monday of the month (term time only) from 10am–1pm at Our Lady of Annunciation Church in Addiscombe, offering a safe space to chat over a cuppa while children play. Families can also connect through Facebook, WhatsApp, and one-to-one meet-ups.

We’re raising £5,000 to host monthly autism and ADHD-friendly family activities in Croydon, providing specialist provisions for the SEND community. Funds will help secure venues such as a community hall, sports hall, or swimming facilities, creating safe and inclusive spaces for children and families to connect, play, and thrive. Every donation brings us closer to making these much-needed sessions a reality.

A2ndvoice and partners provide welcoming, in-person activities for autistic adults aged 18+ across Wandsworth, Lambeth, and Southwark. Sessions include arts & crafts, gaming, open mic, picnics, water sports, workshops, and more. PAs and carers are welcome to attend. We also host a monthly online meet-up for autistic adults aged 50+, offering themed discussions in a supportive, non-recorded environment.

Croydon Family Hub and Croydon NHS Talking Therapies offer tailored support for dads, partners, and carers of children under five. Becoming a parent can be both exciting and overwhelming, and this service provides a safe space to talk about wellbeing, stress, and low mood. Appointments and drop-ins are available with Perinatal Link Worker, Elena Carey, at the Woodlands Family Hub in South Croydon, with telephone and video sessions also available on request.
