Celebrate World Down Syndrome Day
World Down Syndrome Day is a chance to celebrate people with Down syndrome as valued members of our families, schools and communities.
DonateCountdown to World Down Syndrome Day!
This year World Down Syndrome Day is extra special – falling on a Saturday – for the last time in over a decade – it gives us a rare chance to come together and celebrate in a really big way.
You’re invited to join us in celebrating — wherever you are and in whatever way feels right for you. Whether that’s in your school or workplace, at home or out in your community, online or in person, we hope you’ll join DSUK in celebrating WDSD! From funky socks to sunflower challenges, fundraising to parties, skydives to simply sharing a story that means something to you — there’s no single “right” way to take part. There’s just your way.
