About The Down Syndrome Centre

Providing vital services to children with Down syndrome

The Down Syndrome Centre was founded by Peter Gaw and his wife, Mary as a result of their frustration at not being able to access relevant services for their two youngest children, both of whom have Down syndrome.

Our charity has been around for a few years and, in October 2014, we opened the doors to Ireland’s first services-led centre for children with Down syndrome and their families.
