As we reach the end of #WDSD20, a fabulous message from our long time helper and friend @sarah_gordy: "Today is #WorldDownSyndromeDay. The theme is #WeDecide. We’re individuals. We all have minds of our own and should have our say. What we think matters. Research matters!".

[Rosalyn Hithersay @Ros_Hith]

A very happy #WDSD from these toes too! Cheers to all our wonderful @LonDownS participants and #downsyndrome researchers - face-to-face work may be on hold but we’re working away behind the scenes!

[LonDownS Consortium @LonDownS]

Unfortunately due to the recent developments regarding COVID-19 we have made the decision to temporarily postpone our research activities.
We apologise for any inconvenience, but safety comes first.
We’ll keep you updated.
