We are all about embracing our differences - everyone should feel like they belong. We asked our families what inclusion means to them... #WorldDownSyndromeDay #WDSD22 #InclusionMeans #downsyndromeawareness

Fantastic and important work making a difference - well done @tinytickers from WDDSSG! Can you spot Zoe holding a WakeyDS picture frame she made at our Saturday Club?!
Me, telling BBC Breakfast about being told our unborn baby had a heart defect. @tinytickers has been helping a project to draw up new guidelines for sonographers, to help them communicate unexpected news. Important stuff. (Also, Zoe was very excited to see herself on the telly!)

The very best version of this song so far!!!!
This earworm by @RealMattLucas has been tormenting us all week. So we’re passing on the gift to you but with added #Makaton signing! Good one for isolation rules, fingerspelling AND helping the NHS at the same time. Enjoy! Donate at feednhs.com @MakatonCharity
