“"I have seen first hand the changes and benefits, not just from the children who attend, but also from the parents and siblings. I hope this partnership can continue to benefit the local community and raise awareness around Down syndrome for many years to come." - Harold Bennett, North London United coach and parent (published by Arsenal)”
