Raising Twenty1
Andover Twenty1 is a parent-led Charity. Our purpose is to provide support to people with Down's Syndrome and their families, from birth and through school. We want our members to reach their potential, socially and academically. We support children and their families who live within a 25 mile radius of Andover including Newbury, Winchester and Salisbury as well as smaller towns and villages.
