Down Syndrome Education International is based at the Sarah Duffen Centre in Southsea. Its applied research and practical support improves the education and transforms the lives of thousands of children around the world. An early intervention service is available to babies and pre-school children whose parents live within a 70-mile radius of the centre. Parents and their children attend a programme which includes addressing concerns and demonstrating practical activities to promote development.
Rock Challenge UK/Be Your Best Foundation
The vision of the Be Your Best Foundation is to contribute to improving the quality of life for all members of society by encouraging young people to take an active role in building safe and healthy communities, and to be their best without the need for tobacco, alcohol or other drugs. This is achieved through the Rock Challenge – a performing arts competition for secondary schools. Rock Challenge has been running with great success in Portsmouth since its inception in the UK in 1996.
