Donate to us

You may have noticed that we don’t charge for membership anymore. Would you like to donate to us instead?

As a small, committed charity we want to ensure we reach every community in Scotland that needs us, by not only providing support, services and training but also calling out injustice and inequality. Donate today to help us make amazing things happen for people with Down’s syndrome living in Scotland.  

We want to help everyone with Down’s syndrome reach their fullest potential through every age and stage of life. We know that one of the best ways of doing this is by supporting families and carers. 

Help us to reach more families more often as we reach into every community in Scotland.  

You can either make a one-off donation or sign up to our regular giving programme.
