Down’s Syndrome Awareness Week March 18 – 24 2019
14 Feb 2019
There are approximately 40,000 people with Down’s Syndrome living in the UK. Do you have Down’s Syndrome, or know someone who does? Why not get involved with this year’s Awareness Week and help spread the word that every single person with Down’s Syndrome should have the same opportunities as everyone else, in EVERY area of life?
The Down’s Syndrome Association will especially be highlighting the stories and achievements of people with Down’s Syndrome and others who have more complex needs … a section of our own community who can sometimes feel particularly left behind.

Down’s Syndrome Awareness Week and World Down Syndrome Day (March 21) are an amazing opportunity to challenge our society’s misconceptions about Down’s Syndrome and to call for society to be more inclusive.
