2020 is a really special year for DSA as we’re turning 50! In celebration of such a huge milestone, the Fundraising Team have planned some great events that you can get involved in during the year. Join #Team21 in 2020 for a series of fantastic 50th fundraising events.
50 for 50
On Saturday 21 March we will be celebrating World Down Syndrome Day and DSA’s birthday in Salisbury for an extra special event. Not only will there be 50 people taking on a skydive for DSA with the help of GoSkydive (which is awesome enough in itself) but we will also be hosting a Picnic Party at Old Sarum Airfield Museum. There’s going to be live music, food and games for all to enjoy.

Challenge 50
Our Challenge 21 is getting an upgrade in 2020! Challenge 50 allows you to decide on your own challenge or event and how big or small you want it to be. You could decide to do 50 star jumps, bake 50 cupcakes or even a random act of kindness each day for 50 days.
Get your friends, family, work or school involved and see what different and exciting ideas you can come up with to celebrate our 50th Anniversary. As 50 years means gold, why not involve the colour in your event plans? You may even want to throw a golden themed DSA party to celebrate with everyone you care about!
You can find some ideas on our website here!
Celebrate our 50th Anniversary YOUR way!
Remember, you can also put on your own event to celebrate our birthday. Why not hold a pub quiz style evening, or a ‘Come Dine With Me’ week with friends and family? You could even celebrate with some birthday cake and a collection at work or school. A sponsored silence or giving up your favourite thing for 21 days could also be your way to celebrate? Whatever you choose to do, we thank you for your support!

Winter Sunset on the bay | Christine Antunovich
"This sunset photo was taken at the Cupsoque beach on Long Island in New York. The colors of the sunset is so beautiful and perfect. It looks like a wispy fire it shines bright , on the chilly water the puffy white clouds are glistening under the fiery sky."
Head Judge Richard Bailey said: "It's a blustery day on the coast, perfect weather for a bracing stroll. Our attention is with the marsh reeds, but we are still drawn further into the picture by the muted colours of the sun setting far into the distance."
Kingfisher | Stephen Lucas
"I was very lucky to snap this beautiful bird by the river Teifi near Cardigan, West Wales."
Richard said: "This is an exquisite image of a Kingfisher. His back to us showing off his beautiful colours, he turns his head perfectly with that beak piercing the space in the front of him. The photographer has thrown the background out of focus so that there is nothing to distract us and know the photographer would have to have had a lot of patience to take this image."
Cwmyoy Church | Daniel Geeson
"St Martins church is a very crooked church because the ground has moved underneath it. The tower leans one way and the other end of the building leans the other so it looks wonky."
Richard said: "There are many parts to this image that keep us interested. Is the tower going to fall over, are the grave stones about to tumble? The very tumbledown nature of the tower and gravestones gives us an uneasy feeling about what should be a peaceful scene." ... See MoreSee Less
