Stepping Stones DS: Empowering Families and Raising Awareness for World Down Syndrome Day - Day 5
🎉 STAND OUT SOCKS x PROJECT EMPOWERMENT – MAKING NOISE EVERY DAY FOR THE LEAD-UP TO WORLD DOWN SYNDROME DAY!
At Stand Out Socks ✌️🧡🧦, we’re beyond excited for Project Empowerment! As we approach World Down Syndrome Day, we’re sharing incredible stories from the amazing people involved every single day.
💙💛 Project Empowerment offers individuals the opportunity to kick-start their entrepreneurial journey, develop valuable skills, and boost their prospects, all while raising awareness for World Down Syndrome Day on March 21st. It’s a movement that’s all about empowerment, growth, and making a real difference in the community!
DAY 5 - Stepping Stones DS
Today, we’re thrilled to be partnering with Stepping Stones DS, an incredible charity based in Fleet, Hampshire, dedicated to helping children and young people with Down syndrome reach their full potential.
Stepping Stones DS provides a wide range of educational, physical, and social activities to empower individuals with Down syndrome. They also offer a vital local support network for families and professionals involved in the care of those with Down syndrome. Their services truly make a difference in the lives of so many, and we’re honoured to be contributing to their important work.
This year for World Down Syndrome Day, Stepping Stones DS is raising money through a Sponsored Fun Run event, where participants can donate in exchange for a pair of Stand Out Socks to wear while running!
Not only will this event help spread awareness about Down syndrome through the most colourful run you’ll ever see, but it will also provide crucial funding for the ongoing support that these families rely on. 💙💛
We’re so excited to be part of this event and to support such an incredible cause. By wearing Stand Out Socks at the event, we’ll help keep the conversation going, raise awareness, and promote inclusion for people with Down syndrome.
Celebrate World Down Syndrome Day
On March 21st, millions of people across the globe will come together to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day. A fun and meaningful tradition to raise awareness is wearing brightly colored, often mismatched socks, symbolizing chromosomes—shaped like socks. People with Down syndrome have an extra copy of chromosome 21, and this tradition is a great way to start conversations, celebrate individuality, and show support for inclusion.

Let’s keep making noise and raising awareness, one sock at a time! ✨
