Our Patrons
Extra 21 has two patrons, who have very kindly given us their time and efforts to further the aims of our organisation.
Joe Pike
“I am both proud and honoured to be a joint patron to the organisation Down Syndrome Extra 21.
I have the pleasure of being the Great Uncle of Hannah who has Down syndrome and did not hesitate when asked to be a patron. The assistance given to persons who have Down syndrome has improved greatly over the years, although, in my opinion, there is still plenty of room for improvement.
The efforts of a comparatively small group such as this deserves all of the help and assistance they can receive.”
Nik Kershaw
“I feel privileged to be a patron of Down Syndrome Extra 21 and to be associated, in some small way, with its tireless and dedicated team.
As father to a Down Syndrome son, I have benefited personally from their experience and support.
Their quarterly magazine has proved an invaluable recourse to families living with Down’s throughout N E London and Essex and I wish them every success with the launch of this website.”
