The 21st of March (the 3rd month of the year) was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome. Every year on March 21st, World Down Syndrome Day is observed to create awareness
This year, we want to make World Down Syndrome Day bigger and better than ever before—and we need your help to make it happen!
We’re asking families, friends, and supporters to join our campaign by raising £21. Imagine the difference we could make if everyone in our community came together to hit this simple yet impactful target. Every £21 raised represents a step toward providing more resources, raising more awareness, and creating more opportunities for individuals with Down syndrome to thrive.
Here’s how you can get involved:
- 🌻 Take on our Sunflower Challenge to grow, inspire, and bring awareness.
- 💪 Join our #DSUK21Challenge by completing a 21-themed activity, like walking 21 miles, doing 21 acts of kindness, or hosting a 21-minute bake sale!
- 🏡 Organise your own community fundraiser to bring your neighbours, school, or workplace together for a great cause.
Your support means the world to us and the community we are proud to be a part of. Every pound raised helps fund our initiatives and programs that make a positive impact on the lives of individuals with Down syndrome and their families.
With everyone doing just a little, we can achieve something extraordinary.!
