A brilliant day bringing people together at Fort Dunlop! 

On Monday, we welcomed Down Syndrome UK | Positive About Down Syndrome our charity of the year, to Fort Dunlop in Birmingham for a day of conversation, awareness and a lunchtime workout!

Organised by Luke Fearn and the Derry Building Services team, the event was open to everyone working in the building. Heidi and Tom shared stories about their lives, work and aspirations, while DSUK CEO Nicola Enoch explained the charity’s work and the support it provides to families. It was a great opportunity to listen, ask questions and chat.

Tom then put us through our paces with a #TomFit HIIT session, taking the workout all the way up to the roof beneath the Fort Dunlop sign! A well-earned cupcake afterwards certainly went down a treat - thank you, Mandy! 

We’re proud to have raised £3,985 so far for Down Syndrome UK to support its work with families.

A huge thank you to Heidi, Tom and Nicola for joining us and sharing your experiences, to Luke, Mandy, Claudine and everyone at DBS who helped organise the day, and to everyone at Fort Dunlop who came along and took part. We’re looking forward to more events together in 2027!
