October marks Down Syndrome Awareness Month, a time to celebrate the achievements of people with Down syndrome, challenge stereotypes, and raise awareness across communities.

At Stepping Stones NI, we are proud to support people with learning disabilities in our social enterprises, helping them gain skills, qualifications, and confidence in the workplace. Our trainees contribute to services across our six social enterprises, showcasing their talent, creativity, and dedication.

Throughout the month, we will share stories, interesting facts, and insights to highlight the unique strengths of people with Down syndrome and promote inclusion in every part of life. By raising awareness, we hope to encourage greater understanding, acceptance, and opportunities for all.
