Every year, around 1 in 700 babies are born with Down syndrome - a genetic condition caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21. It’s one of the most common chromosomal conditions, yet still widely misunderstood.

A diagnosis doesn’t define a person. With the right support and inclusion, people with Down syndrome live full, meaningful lives and bring so much to their communities.

Today, on World Down Syndrome Day, we celebrate awareness, inclusion, and the incredible individuals who continue to challenge perceptions every day. 💙💛

Our Games Day was more than just fun and games 💜
It was about connection, inclusion, and creating a space where everyone is welcome.
Because everyone deserves the chance to join in, be themselves, and feel part of a community.

We are so proud to know Roddy. Congratulations on this award! You deserve the recognition 👏🏼👏🏼

🚨 Big News — We’re Moving!

Today we say goodbye to the office where it all began and start an exciting new chapter for Purple Heather. While it’s a little bittersweet leaving the place that holds so many memories, we’re incredibly excited for what’s ahead as we prepare for our brand new home.

While our new location is being finalised, it’s business as usual and operations will continue as normal. We’ll be sure to keep everyone updated and can’t wait to welcome you into the new Purple Heather space very soon. 💜

New beginnings are on the way… stay tuned! ✨

Today we celebrate the incredible women who lead with compassion, strength, and heart. 💜

This year’s theme for International Women’s Day, Give To Gain, reminds us that when we give our time, care, support, and advocacy, the impact grows far beyond the moment. When we support and uplift one another, that support multiplies strengthening individuals, families, and entire communities.

To the women supporting, empowering, advocating, and lifting others up every day — we see you and we celebrate you.

Shoutout to the social workers who show up every day with compassion, patience and a commitment to making life a little easier for others. Your work changes lives in ways that often go unseen, but never unappreciated. 💜

March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month 💜

For many families, this isn’t just a month on the calendar — it’s daily life.

It’s appointments and assessments.
It’s research and IEP meetings.
It’s explaining your child’s needs over and over again.

It’s celebrating milestones that others might not even notice.
It’s advocating when you’re exhausted.
It’s learning new strategies, adjusting expectations, and loving fiercely through it all.

It’s the quiet worry about whether your child will be included.
The hope that teachers, friends, and the community will choose patience and understanding.
The pride in every small win.

Developmental differences don’t define limits, they highlight resilience, strength, and unique ways of seeing the world.

This month is about awareness, yes! but more than that, it’s about inclusion, compassion, and creating spaces where every child and every family feels like they belong. 💜

Meet Tayla 😁

Support Coordinator / Senior Mentor at Purple Heather

"What motivates me in my role is perspective - always imagining myself in the shoes of the participants and families we support. The relationships I've built with the people I work with are also a massive motivator and often the reason it's easier to show up each day."
