Down’s Syndrome Manchester is here to provide community, friendship and practical support close to home. But we’re also proud to be part of a wider network of organisations working nationally to improve the lives of people with Down’s syndrome and their families.

These organisations offer a wide range of support from information on health, education and employment, to creating spaces where people with Down’s syndrome are heard, included and celebrated.

Whether you’re just beginning your journey or looking for something more specific, we want you to know you’re not alone.
