We\u2019re proud to stand alongside Down Syndrome UK<\/a> and the Positive About Down Syndrome (PADS) initiative, championing a nationwide movement to improve secondary education for children with Down syndrome. This cause is close to our hearts, and it shows in everything we do, from impactful fundraising to bold awareness campaigns like our specially wrapped vehicles.<\/p>\n On March 21st, 2021, World Down Syndrome Day, we launched our first branded vehicle<\/a> in support of PADS, marking the beginning of a journey that continues to inspire and unite our team.

Parents and schools often cite insufficient knowledge, training, and support as barriers to mainstream secondary inclusion.<\/p>\n Research confirms that inclusive education leads to better post-secondary outcomes,including higher employment rates and independent living opportunities (DSI, 2020).<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.ltsglobalsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/DSUK-logos.png” title_text=”DSUK Secondary Education Programme” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” alt=”DSUK logo” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.ltsglobalsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/MJ87973.jpg” alt=”Positive about Down syndrome” title_text=”LTS Global Solutions Secondary Education programme” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Dave, our Managing Director, and Rachel, from HR & Comms, have a 10-year-old daughter, Ella, with Down syndrome. Ella has thrived in mainstream primary school thanks to the school’s inclusive approach.<\/p>\n However, as they look ahead to secondary school, they have found a lack of similar support and understanding. They want Ella to flourish alongside her brother, Connor in a mainstream secondary school.<\/p>\n “This initiative is deeply personal to us, but it also stands to positively impact thousands of children across the UK. By partnering with DSUK, we aim to ensure quality education and support for children with Down syndrome, their teachers, families, and future colleagues. We have high expectations and are committed to making a difference.”<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.justgiving.com\/page\/ltsglobalsolutionssecondaryeducation” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Donate Now” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,1_4,1_4,1_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.ltsglobalsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/2-LTS-Global-Solutions-Start-of-Snowdon.jpg” title_text=”2 LTS Global Solutions Start of Snowdon” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” alt=”LTS group at the start of Mount Snowdon” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.ltsglobalsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/4-LTS-taking-a-break.jpg” alt=”Team taking a break on Snowdon” title_text=”4 LTS taking a break” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.ltsglobalsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1-LTS-Global-Solutions-Snowdon-2025.jpg” alt=”Group stood outside Snowdon Mountain Railway station” title_text=”1 LTS Global Solutions Snowdon 2025″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.ltsglobalsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/The-Cora-Summitt-LTS-Global-Solutions.jpg” title_text=”The Cora Summitt LTS Global Solutions” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” alt=”Two team members at the Cora Summit” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n On the 30th August 2025, a team of LTS volunteers attempted to conquer Snowdon to raise funds for a Secondary Education Programme for students with Down syndrome. The team braved bracing winds and rain in conditions so severe that some participants were forced to abort the challenge. Snowdon\u2019s train and caf\u00e9 were also closed due to the adverse weather. However, the majority of the team made it to the summit and raised in excess of \u00a33200 towards our \u00a340,000 target, an amazing achievement, and we are grateful to those who volunteered, donated and cheered us on.
