Why support Down’s Syndrome Scotland?
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.
By taking part in Down’s Syndrome Scotland Firewalk, you can help us make amazing things happen for people with Down’s syndrome living in Scotland.
How we will support you
When you sign up to run for us, you will receive:
- A welcome pack, full of tips and fundraising advice
- A free Down’s Syndrome Scotland t-shirt
- Unlimited support from our dedicated team
