A new group for children with Down’s syndrome and their families will launch in the area this weekend.

Down’s Syndrome Scotland’s Central Branch is running the group which will be split into two with one section for babies and toddlers up to the age of five and the other for primary school-aged children from five to 12 years.

It aims to offer the youngsters a chance to play and meet new friends – with access to a soft play area, games and other activities on offer.
