Just the way you are MK

Just the way you are MK We are an inclusive group for any families in Milton Keynes and surrounding area who are part of our Down Syndrome community.

Anyone is welcome; parents, carers, friends and siblings too! Social meeting held every second Saturday of each month at Oxley Park Community Centre. 10am till 12.00

08/01/2026

Happy New Year to our wonderful families and friends!

Hope you all had a lovely break. Today feels somewhat normal in getting back into the routine of things!

There are so many germs going around we have decided to do an outdoor event this weekend instead of coming together inside.

We will be meeting at Salcey Forest (weather permitting) at 10.45am on Saturday with the aim to walk the shorter trail and do a scavenger hunt.

Please let us know if you intend to come.

Here are the postcode details: Sat Nav Postcode: NN7 2HX
Wootton Road, Northamptonshire

My number is 07790134722 should you be running late.

Look forward to resuming back indoors for our special Valentines session on Saturday 14th Feb 10am-12pm

It’s party day!

See you at 4.30pm were in the big hall today ready for lots of fun!

πŸŽ„βœ¨ We are SO excited to see you all tomorrow for our Christmas party! βœ¨πŸŽ„

Our little elves have been very busy creating small gifts, and we have an extra special surprise guest for you! A wonderful local company in Milton Keynes has kindly donated this surprise β€” we’ll be sharing a thank-you post after the big reveal (we don’t want to spoil it just yet πŸ˜‰).

Here’s what we have planned for the day:

🎢 Natalie Ellison joining us for sign and sing and music
πŸ•Ί A naughty elf leading party dances
🎁 A very special surprise guest
β˜• Hot chocolate cone making
🦌 Reindeer food making
🎨 Arts and crafts
🍎 A lovely fruit platter
🀝 Extra help from our amazing friends and family
🎨 Face painting
✨ UV sticks
🌭 Halal-friendly hot dogs kindly provided by Chloe Barnes, with help with her star helper Lillie
🎁 A small gift for everyone

A HUGE thank you to everyone who purchased items from our Amazon wish list β€” your generosity helps us maintain our resources and continue what we do.

We are a non-profit organisation and have no funding other than what is donated or fundraised. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has chosen to support us.

If you’re looking for a new challenge in the New Year and would like to support a small local charity, please consider us. We provide a strong support and social network, and with your help, we would love to be able to do even more.

Did you know that not only do we provide the monthly sessions, we also work closely alongside the Paediatric team at MKGH and offer coffee meet-ups for those who are unable to make the group or need some advice and guidance outside the monthly sessions.

If anyone needs to chat please just drop us a facebook message and one of our amazing committee members will get back to you.

Such a creative and interesting group session yesterday!

We had the story of Diwali, creative colouring and some stained glass candle making as well as blinging some tea lights to celebrate the festival of light on Monday.

Thanks for all those who came and a big thank you to Satyam - Debbie Ganguli-Patel School of Indian Dance and Music

πŸ’™ Supporting Our Charity Run Support Group πŸ’™

As a small charity-run support group, we’re always striving to create a safe, welcoming space for everyone who joins our sessions. Our aim is to offer comfort, connection, and practical support to those who need it most β€” but we’re currently in need of a few resources to help keep our sessions running smoothly.

We’ve put together a wish list on Amazon with some of the items that would really help us continue our work β€” from basic supplies to materials that make our group sessions more engaging and supportive.

πŸ›’ You can view the list here:
πŸ‘‰ Amazon Wish List
https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/13RZW4Y1G0A8J?ref_=wl_share

Every little bit makes a big difference. Whether you’re able to donate an item, share our post, or simply spread the word β€” we’re truly grateful for your kindness and support. πŸ’•

Thank you for helping us make a positive difference πŸ’™
