Down's Syndrome Awareness Week - 17th to 23rd March 2025
World Down's Syndrome Day - Friday 21st March 2025
Society and its support for people with Down’s syndrome has come a long way in the last 40 years, but even today, people with Down’s syndrome still face inequality in many aspects of their lives.
This Down's Syndrome Awareness Week we invite you to #TakeAStepForward and celebrate the value and contribution of people with Down’s syndrome to Scottish life.
We still have a lot to do in tackling discrimination and prejudice, if we are to create truly equal opportunities for everyone living with an extra chromosome.
