Portsmouth Down Syndrome Association
Improving lives and outcomes for people with Down Syndrome through music
Portsmouth Down Syndrome Association is committed to improving lives, opportunities and outcomes for people with Down Syndrome.
The Trustees of the Axis Foundation agreed to a donation of £3592.95 to fund the purchase of musical equipment to support their Music Man Project.
Music Man Project offers specialised musical education and performance opportunities specifically tailored for individuals with Down syndrome and other learning disabilities. It culminates in a televised performance at the Royal Albert Hall.
“This is wonderful news. Thank you for this generous grant which will enable us to purchase our very own instruments, making logistics much easier for the group and increasing our sense of ownership over the project.
“We will now be much better equipped to deliver our music sessions, giving the whole group more autonomy and confidence over what we do.
“Please pass our thanks on to Axis Team for their support for our project which will enable us to continue with our commitment to make music sessions and performance opportunities accessible to people with a learning disability” – Rachael Ross MBE, Chair
