World Down Syndrome Day is a chance to celebrate people with Down syndrome for who they are – not as a diagnosis - but as valued members of our families, schools and communities. It’s also about helping the world do better for our children, now and in the future.

At Down Syndrome UK, we believe people with Down syndrome should be seen, supported and celebrated at every stage of life. World Down Syndrome Day is about shining a light on that belief – together.

I will be doing this for a very special little boy who I look after who stole my heart.
