Come and join us and celebrate all things Down’s syndrome throughout the whole of October.
We are delighted to welcome in November our new Chief Executive, Emma Soanes.
“I feel incredibly lucky to be joining Down’s Syndrome Scotland – what a wonderful opportunity to build on Eddie’s incredible legacy and the work of such a committed and passionate team.
The impact of this organisation in supporting individuals, families and practitioners is exceptional and I’m very proud to be on board.”
We want to help everyone with Down’s syndrome reach their fullest potential through every age and stage of life. We know that one of the best ways of doing this is by supporting families and carers.
As a small, committed charity we want to ensure we reach every community in Scotland that needs us, by not only providing support, services and training but also calling out injustice and inequality. Donate today to help us make amazing things happen for people with Down syndrome living in Scotland.
We are thrilled to announce that Down’s Syndrome Scotland won the Silver Gilt Award and People’s Choice Award for Small Show Garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in May 2025.
Find out everything you need to know about Down’s syndrome – living with the condition, its causes, and the three different types.
