We were delighted to welcome families from Scotland to our Family day in September 2023.
The SOFT UK Family day was made possible by the National Lottery Community Fund who kindly sponsored the event.
Our family days are an opportunity for families affected by Trisomy 13 or Trisomy 18 to come together, network, and hear from other families.
We hope you enjoy the session recordings below, and that we will see you at the next event.
