At Ups 'n' Downs, fundraising is at the heart of what we do – helping us continue to support children and young people with Down syndrome and their families across Northamptonshire.
Each year, we run a variety of fundraising events and member days that bring our community together while raising vital funds and awareness.
Ups 'n' Downs Annual Dinner
Our flagship event, the Ups 'n' Downs Annual Dinner, is one of the most important nights in our calendar.
Cycling Sportif
Whether you're a keen cyclist or just looking for a challenge, our annual cycling event is a great way to get active and fundraise at the same time. Get a team together or go solo – every mile makes a difference. Head over to www.facebook.com/RidingforUpsnDown
Golf Days
Enjoy a round of golf while supporting a great cause. Our charity golf days are always a hit – perfect for individuals, friends, or corporate teams.
Family Fun Days & Community Events
Our family fun days are packed with activities for all ages. These inclusive events are a brilliant way to connect with our community and celebrate together.
World Down Syndrome Day (21st March)
Each year we join the global celebration of World Down Syndrome Day with awareness events, school campaigns and lots of #LotsOfSocks fun!
Want to get involved?
Whether you’d like to take part in one of our events, organise your own fundraiser, or support us in any way, we’d love to hear from you.
There are so many fun and creative ways to fundraise for Ups 'n' Downs – whether you’re a school, community group, workplace or an individual.
Schools and community groups could host non-uniform days, cake sales, sponsored walks or talent shows to raise funds and awareness. Workplaces might organise team challenges, charity raffles, dress-down Fridays, or even match-funding schemes. As an individual, you could take on a personal challenge like a sponsored run, birthday fundraiser, bake sale or even a social media campaign. Every effort, big or small, helps us continue supporting families and children with Down syndrome across Northamptonshire.
