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! Read: edf-feph.org/european-elect…

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)

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.

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

#AssumeThatICan Watch, retweet, and change your assumptions.

“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 Sir Liam Fox National Down Syndrome Policy Group - this is long overdue..

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. @TeamDomenica

"The arrival of my younger sister was not in fact a tragedy – it is one of the best things that ever happened to any of us. I am not claiming there haven’t been difficulties but having a sibling with Down’s syndrome changed my own life irrevocably for the better.:

Urge your MP to back Sir Liam Fox 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!

Huge congratulations to Ken Ross OBE

Absolutely, without doubt, the most enjoyable book I have read in a long time. Makes me yearn for Central Asia. I can't put it down.

And now it's finished 😪 Journey Food, my favourite chapter, Hillside Pasties, most delicious recipe( not sure I did it justice, though). Thanks, Caroline Eden, for a great read.)

What a day! A privilege, if a little surreal, to give my maiden speech in the House of Lords yesterday, with my family watching on. Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way.

This is the 2nd year that florence garrett & I will be swimming 5km for @teamdomenica . I know how generous people have been already and I wouldn't ask again if I didn't believe so strongly in the cause. Please support us by instagram.com/p/C_S0N64o2GQ/…

It's difficult to comprehend the effects of war on a child with a learning disability. Stress, confusion, fear... 👏 to Vans Without Borders 🇬🇧🇺🇦 for reaching out to this vulnerable group and making things better where they can.
