Down Syndrome Awareness Week

It was a real pleasure to meet the wonderful team from @Project21uk at a recent event hosted by the @NDSPolicyGroup to mark Down Syndrome Awareness Week.

Project21 is an inspiring group doing incredible work across Suffolk and the East of England, running events and activities that bring joy, confidence, and connection to people with Down Syndrome and their families.

From social clubs and sports sessions to community outings and inclusive celebrations, Project21 is all about creating opportunities, breaking down barriers, and showing the world what people with Down Syndrome can achieve when given the chance to thrive.

It was a heartwarming and hopeful event, full of positivity, energy, and a strong message of inclusion. I’m incredibly proud that Suffolk is home to such a passionate and dedicated group of advocates.

Thank you to Project21 and the National Down Syndrome Policy Group for having me — and for everything you do to make our communities more welcoming and inclusive.
