Welcome!
We are an inclusive, member-led charity for individuals with Down’s syndrome, parents, caregivers, and professionals, from diagnosis through to adulthood.
What we do
About Down’s syndrome
Down’s syndrome (also known as trisomy 21) is when you’re born with an extra chromosome (chromosome 21).
Support for families
Membership is free and offers access to our monthly newsletter and full details of all the support and events we provide.
Support for professionals
Expert-led workshops on topics like behaviour, literacy, numeracy, and understanding Down’s syndrome learning profiles.
“We’d feel lost without Down’s Syndrome Manchester, in all honesty, like we are really on our own. Parenthood is a tricky enough journey, but without this specialist support network, our son, and our family would not be thriving as much as we are!”
Quote from parent
