Down Syndrome UK is a parent-led national organisation providing honest support, passion, and expert resources to families and professionals, to improve the lives of those with Down syndrome and their families in the UK, and empowering every child with Down syndrome to thrive.
We want our children to be valued and included in the communities in which we live, to have the choice to attend their local mainstream school and when old enough to work; not to encounter barriers, but instead to be welcomed and embraced within society.
We aim to inform and educate as widely as possible to ensure that our children are able to become valued friends and colleagues without many outdated stereotypes and prejudices restricting friendships and working relationships.
