About us

The Down's Syndrome Research Foundation Limited
Registered office:   18 Daws Hill Lane, High Wycombe, Bucks, HP11 1PW
Company   Registration number 3228419 England & Wales.
Registered Charity 1058548

We are a parent based medical research charity founded in July 1996.

Our objective is to alleviate sickness and illness and find treatments and cures for the medical conditions which are collectively called Down's syndrome.  We initiate and sponsor medical research projects and undertake to freely publish the results of that research as widely as possible. 

We raise funds for medical research.  We collaborate with other charities and organizations and we seek partners who will help us with these objectives.

We have Friends and Supporting members who help us to get medical research underway and who raise funds and make donations in support of this objective. 

We provide a wide variety of information through our website. But we do not provide specific medical advice. Parents should consult their doctor when they need specific medical advice. 

Trustees are also Directors and they are appointed to office.  Only Directors have voting rights and they can appoint additional directors as needed.  Anyone who actively supports the need for medical research to help children with Down's syndrome can apply to become a Director.  If the applicant can advance the fulfilment of the objective of the charity and is not disqualified for any other reason then the application will be voted upon by the existing Directors at the next quarterly meeting.  Each year those directors who have fulfilled their commitment to help the charity meet its objectives during the year will be reappointed to office.  Inactive Directors must be nominated and seconded to get reappointed.  

The Memoranda and Articles of Association are on file at Companies House.
