World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD) is less than four weeks away!
On 21 March, people around the world will come together to celebrate people with Down syndrome and promote inclusion in every part of life.
This WDSD, we’re shining a light on connection and belonging for people with Down syndrome.
Feeling connected at work, at school, socially and in the community can make a huge difference is someone's life. When people feel included and valued, it helps build confidence, happiness and a strong sense of self.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing stories, tips and resources about belonging.
