Rock Your Socks
Often celebrated on 21st March (World Down’s Syndrome Day), but you can do this anytime – to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down’s syndrome. Have fun wearing bright, bold and mismatched socks in your workplace, school, college or community group. Download our guide.

“Down Syndrome Manchester connected us with other parents of children with Down Syndrome when our daughter was a baby, when we really needed to know we were not alone on this journey. Being able to go along to their lovely support group meetings where we could chat to others who had beautiful children with that extra chromosome was invaluable to us.”
