Aims: Our Aim:

Helping people with Down’s syndrome to live full and rewarding lives.

The only organisation in this country focusing solely on all aspects of living successfully with Down’s syndrome. We have grown in 30 years from being a local parent support group to a national charity with over 19,000 members, a national office in Teddington Middlesex, offices in Northern Ireland and Wales and a regional development team. Despite this, the organisation is run by a total staff of only 38 (many of them part time), and a network of around 100 regional volunteer-led support groups

We provide information and support for people with Down’s syndrome, their families and carers, as well as being a resource for interested professionals.
We strive to improve knowledge of the condition.
We champion the rights of people with Down’s syndrome.
