This afternoon, 10 members of GoodGym Leeds headed down to the new 21 Cafe in Kirkstall to help prepare for their opening with some painting tasks.

21 Co. is part of Sunshine & Smiles, the Leeds Down Syndrome Network. Sunshine & Smiles provides a support network in Leeds for children and young people who have Down Syndrome and their families. Until they were founded by a small group of parents, Leeds did not have a support network to help children and families living with Down Syndrome.

21 Cafe are two cafes and a shop based in Leeds, run for and by people with Down Syndrome to offer training and work experience with the aim of creating job opportunities.

Welcome to newcomers Hannah, Elspeth, Charley & Dini. We hope to see you again soon.
