World Down Syndrome Day was created to help ensure that people with Down Syndrome have the same freedoms and opportunities as everybody else.
To recognise this day and to help raise awareness, we’ve put together some facts and information below to help educate and challenge misconceptions of people with Down Syndrome.
The day is often celebrated by wearing bright or mismatched “funky socks”, fundraising, taking part in awareness activities, and sharing stories that highlight the voices and achievements of people with Down Syndrome.
