Dads

At DSUK we are here to support the whole family!

Join our Dads online group

A friendly Facebook group for Dads who have a child or expecting a baby with Down syndrome, where you can seek and give advice, share experiences and have a chat with other dads.

There’s also a Whatsapp group and Fantasy Football team.

The PADSDads Podcast

Ben, dad to Leo (8 months), has a chat with other Dads about fatherhood, family life and having a child who has Down syndrome.

“I know that men aren’t always particularly good at talking about how they feel – but I’m hoping that even though they may be like me and don’t necessarily want to talk, this podcast can be a comforting thing that new Dad’s of children with Down syndrome can listen to.”

We have a collection of resources and information organised by life stages, health topics, and common enquiries about Down syndrome.

We'd love to hear from you!
