Our awareness assemblies have always been a big part of our World Down Syndrome Day campaigns.

They represent a fantastic opportunity to share with schools across the region just how amazing our DS community are, how we support those members, and how the schools, with their gingerbread sock biscuits sales, help us to keep providing that support.

So, in this tenth anniversary year, Steve and the Education Advocate team took to the road once more, and delivered some amazing assemblies to schools across the region. From Ellesmere Port to Macclesfield; From Warrington down to Stoke, we presented to over 3000 pupils and staff who warmly welcomed us, and demonstrated once again just how much support, respect and kindness there is across the region for our DS community and their families.
