Congratulations to our amazing Keenan, who has been offered a space at the London workshop for STAGE 21, with the support of Arts Council England, Portsmouth Down Syndrome Association and BAFTA.

It has been amazing to watch Keenan go from strength to strength in his acting career. He is such a talented young man and we are extremely proud of him.

💙 Today, our thoughts are with the Pascal family 💙 As they say goodbye to their beautiful Wife, Mum, daughter and friend Lisa Pascal

As a community, Families with Ups and Downs is holding Lisa’s husband, JM, and their beautiful children, Sophia, Chloé and Tèo, close in our hearts today.

There are no words that can truly ease the pain of losing someone you love. We hope that, in the days and weeks ahead, they will find strength in one another, in the love surrounding them, and in the precious memories they share of Lisa.

Lisa will always be remembered as a cherished part of our Families with Ups and Downs community. She will be remembered by her beautiful smile, kind heart and her strength. We send our sympathy, and our deepest condolences.

Sending you all so much love and strength today and always. 💙

From all of us at Families with Ups and Downs xx
