21st March was World Down’s Syndrome Day, which many young people and volunteers supported by wearing odd socks. At The Hub that evening, we also had a Karate demonstration from our young volunteer Joseph Clifton. Joseph has Down’s Syndrome and competes for Great Britain in karate – and we are proud that he is in fact a double Para Commonwealth Gold Medallist.
Â
Watching him is such a joy. His strength, power and dedication to his craft is inspirational for us all. You could have heard a pin drop during his demonstration and some of our young people were heard saying "I'm not going to mess with Joseph!"
Â
The Hub is so proud of you Joseph. Thank you for being our volunteer and a role model to us all.
