Increasing awareness of Down's syndrome and to promote positive attitudes and approaches within the local community
Although society is much more accepting of people with disabilities, sadly there are many outdated opinions and prejudices which are still held regarding people with Down’s syndrome.
Our group is passionate about changing as many of these as we can.
Information about the misconceptions of Down’s syndrome and the correct language to use is available here. We aim to further increase awareness at future fundraising events.
We are also committed to influencing the medical profession to lead by example in this important area.
