Down's Syndrome Awareness Week - 18th to 24th March 2024
World Down's Syndrome Day - Thursday 21st March 2024
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 join our Movement For Change, celebrating 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.
