A NEW group for families touched by Down’s Syndrome is being launched on the edge of the New Forest.

The group is open to children with the condition, plus parents, carers and family friends.

Couples who are expecting a child with Down’s Syndrome are also welcome to attend the sessions.

Down’s in Dorset will meet at the Somerford Children’s Centre in Christchurch, today and again on May 21.
