Take the Leap for World Down Syndrome Day!

This March, we’re taking awareness and inclusion to new heights—literally! Brave individuals across the UK are skydiving to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day, and we need your support to make a lasting impact.

At Down Syndrome UK, we believe every individual with Down syndrome deserves the best opportunities to flourish. We provide essential support from the moment of diagnosis, equipping families with accurate, up-to-date information through our #NobodyToldMe book and dedicated resources for maternity units, health professionals, and schools.

We go beyond information—we empower families with:

Online support groups covering early development, speech & language, feeding, and physiotherapy

Makaton signing courses for parents, grandparents, and educators

Specialist advice on topics like behaviour, toilet training (Pants4School), EHCPs, and complex medical needs

No family should feel alone on this journey. We believe in celebrating every child, supporting their education, and ensuring they receive the care they deserve.

Why your donation matters:

Every pound raised from this skydive helps us reach more families, provide expert-led support, and continue to work hard towards achieving our vision of a world where everyone with Down syndrome lives their best life.

Support our skydivers—let’s make a difference together!
