Strictly Come Dancing (BBC)

Everyone at We Are Beams is cheering Ellie Goldstein on with every dance move on her Strictly Come Dancing journey! We hope she enjoys all the glitter, glamour, and joy that comes with this beloved family show.

Ellie Goldstein is a trailblazing model, actress, and influencer with Down syndrome. She made history as the first model with Down syndrome to appear in major campaigns for global brands like Gucci Beauty and Adidas. Ellie also broke barriers as the first model with Down syndrome to feature in British Vogue.

As a proud advocate for disability inclusion, Ellie uses her platform to inspire others and show the world what people with learning disabilities can achieve.

She is a true role model for the children and young people with complex health needs and disabilities including Down syndrome and autism, who are supported by We Are Beams.

One of those young people is Beatrice, a huge fan of Ellie and Strictly Come Dancing. Beatrice has Down syndrome and accesses Beams services through short breaks respite and school holiday activity clubs.

We are so proud of you, Ellie, keep showing the world what you can achieve and most importantly…..KEEP DANCING!!

This wonderful video below shows just how over the moon Beatrice was to receive a special video message from Ellie.
