Lots of Socks is back for World Down Syndrome Day! 🧦
On 21 March, people around the world wear bright, colourful or mismatched socks to start conversations about Down syndrome and inclusion.
It’s a simple, fun way to make a difference.
Wear your favourite socks. Share a photo. Start a conversation with family, friends, classmates or colleagues. Schools and workplaces often join in too.
If you’d like to help your school or workplace take part, we’ve created some easy resources to get you started.

Our new Ageing Well with Down Syndrome resources are here! 🎉
These resources will help you stay well as you get older.
People with Down syndrome are living longer than ever before. That is something to celebrate.
As we live longer, good health information matters more than ever.
The resources cover:
– Keeping my body healthy
– Dementia
– Anxiety and depression
– Grief and loss
– Perimenopause and menopause
Each resource is easy to understand and follow. They will help you notice changes early and get support sooner.
People with Down syndrome, parents and health professionals worked with us to create these guides.
We have also made this short video. In the video, people share what ageing well with Down syndrome means to them.
Explore the resources and share them with someone who might benefit: www.downsyndrome.org.au/national/about-us/our-work/ageing-well-with-down-syndrome/
A big thank you to nib foundation, our partner in this project, for helping make these resources possible.
