Summer In-Person Family Days




Throughout August 2026, we’re running family fun days open to all Duchenne families along with siblings too so that you can meet up with others in your area, as well as our support team and have fun together. All of our family days are free to attend and we’ll provide refreshments too. We’d love to see you there!
Three of our events are taking place in science centres and these will also offer you the opportunity to discover the science behind Duchenne. Both our Support and Science teams will be on hand to make sure you get the most out of your day, so while some of the family head off to explore the science centre, there’s the chance for you to join our BRAND NEW interactive science workshops.
