Urge your MP to back Liam Fox MP amendment & cast a vote for equality! People with #DownSyndrome must benefit from the same rights as the vast majority of the population. It’s time to correct 34 years of discrimination. National Down Syndrome Policy Group #EqualityAt24 Thanks to all who already have!
Congratulations, wonderful news and so reassuring to know people with learning disabilities now have someone so passionate and knowledgable about the cause to fight for them. Team Domenica
“Surely we cannot accept… that people with Down’s syndrome are second class citizens. ' Nothing second class about florence garrett. Hats off and thanks to Liam Fox MP National Down Syndrome Policy Group - this is long overdue..
If we have positive assumptions about people with Down syndrome, we'll give them more opportunities. And maybe these positive assumptions will become reality. #AssumeThatICan #WDSD24 #WorldDownSyndromeDay #EndTheStereotypes
Huge congratulations- to @kennross2011 on receiving an OBE for ‘outstanding contribution to charity, education & people with Down syndrome!’ and very proud that florence garrett is involved in a small way.
Christmas came early for a school in Kyiv that teaches children with Down syndrome, as thanks to New Forest for Ukraine and their supporters we were able to deliver laptops and printers to the children! (1/2)
During #EDPD2023 and ahead of the International #DisabilityDay - 3 December - we call on political parties to select and support candidates with disabilities who are interested in running for the #EuropeanElections !

We swam for Team Domenica, a social enterprise charity whose vision is for people with learning disabilities to be valued in the workplace, reach their full potential & feel included as members of society. It was so cold 🥶
Thank you for all the support. bit.ly/3PC2zXM
I can not imagine the challenges parents of children with #DownSyndrome face in #Ukraine at the moment. Moments of joy that organisations like Vans Without Borders 🇬🇧🇺🇦 bring must be invaluable.
‘Ukraine will win. And when they win, with such extraordinarily motivated people I believe they can become an extraordinary country not only for themselves but for what they can offer to the world.’ 💬
