Children and Young People
We are creating sessions for children and young people living with Duchenne to give everyone the opportunity to meet others with the condition, create friendships and to take part in inclusive activities in a safe, supported space.
Mighty Minds
We’re so excited to introduce Mighty Minds — a brand-new virtual group created especially for boys living with Duchenne and their siblings will also be welcome to join selected sessions, helping families enjoy activities together 💙
Mighty Minds is all about bringing children together in a relaxed, inclusive space where they can have fun, be creative, build friendships, and enjoy simply being kids together ✨
Through virtual sessions, we’ll be hosting:
🎨 Creative craft activities
🎉 Seasonal quizzes & games
🍰 Fun themed sessions
🎭 Interactive challenges
😄 Lots of laughs and peer-to-peer fun
Our aim is to create a positive online community where boys feel connected, included, and confident — all from the comfort of home.
We can’t wait to begin this journey and meet all of our Mighty Minds members!
