We want our children to be valued and included in the communities in which we live, to have the choice to attend their local mainstream school and when old enough to work; not to encounter barriers, but instead to be welcomed and embraced within society.
To this end we aim to inform and educate as widely as possible to ensure that our children are able to become valued friends and colleagues without many outdated stereotypes and prejudices restricting friendships and working relationships.
Our values are to:
Promote inclusion
People with Down syndrome are at the heart of everything we do.
Be collaborative
We work in partnership with parents, professionals and experts.
Challenge
We remove barriers to our children’s progress and provide innovative solutions.
Empower
We provide knowledge and resources to empower families and their children to reach their potential.
