Downs Syndrome Association

Down’s Syndrome Association (DSA) is a national charity covering England, Wales and Northern Ireland, whose vision is to create a world where all people with the condition are able to live full and rewarding lives. The DSA supports people who have Down’s syndrome, their families, carers and health professionals nationally.

We walk along life’s journey with those who have Down’s syndrome from birth to old age, committed to improving quality of life for people who have Down’s syndrome, promoting their right to be included on a full and equal basis with others.

For more than 50 years, DSA has been providing comprehensive information, advocacy, training and support services.  The services include the WorkFit employment programme, DSActive DSEngage health and wellbeing programme, support for maternity and health services, and a confidential information Helpline service for people who have Down’s syndrome, their families, carers and those with an interest in the condition.
