Key Contact
Kathryn Sadgrove
Service Co-ordinator
My role as volunteer coordinator is to provide support and information to the famliy/whanau who have a new baby born with Down Syndrome. I visit the new families in the hospital or in their own home. The NZDSA has produced a New Parent information pack and DVD which is given out at the time of visit. We also provide support and information to our existing families and their extended family members.
With the family’s permission I can link them to another family in their own area to provide them with extra support. I run a support meeting in Whangarei, please contact me for details.
I am on the NZDSA committee to represent Northland and am able to take any issues affecting Northland families to our National committee meetings.
The area we cover is from Wellsford to Kaitaia.
