World Down Syndrome
Events, Support and Fundraising

During the month of March we celebrate our children and young people who happen to have Down syndrome. The 21st March every year is recognised internationally as a day to raise awareness of the extra chromosone on the 21st pair. People with Trisomy 21 have an extra chromosone, and so 3 chromosones, rather than 2, on the 21st making it a 'tri' rather than a pair.

Our logo features 46 yellow dots with a 47th blue one at the centre; the 47th chromosone.

Browse below and find out what we have planned to raise funds and awareness.

'Do 21 things' challenge

We are asking the families and organisations to take part in the 'do 21 things' challenge to help raise awareness and funds to help support our charity and the vast amount of support it provides for people with Down syndrome, their families and the schools and other professionals who work with them.

You could bake and sell 21 buns, set yourself a challenge - walk 21 miles, do 21 press-ups a day for 21 days, learn 21 new signs, wash up for 21 days...make 21 cups of tea!
