So many excited children with #DownSyndrome receiving their copy of ‘This is Me!’ by one of our founding officers, TV and all-round superstars - George Webster - just in time for #WorldBookDay. George, you have so many mini-fans who think you’re fantastic 🥰 @NHS_RobW

Happy #WorldDownSyndromeDay ! An exciting start to the day for our founding officers and their families with a trip to Downing Street. Later we will be joined by lots more people with Down syndrome, their families and professionals as we share with MPs at our celebratory event.

James shares about his job in A&E at his local hospital, while Ed explains about his job with a water company. Potential employers were keen to listen and discuss ways their companies could also provide paid employment for people with Down syndrome. #DownSyndromeAct #Guidance
