Down’s Syndrome Scotland’s vision is that society fully accepts and includes people with Down’s syndrome.
Every day we support families and people with Down’s syndrome to reach their fullest potential by providing a range of services, influencing public policy and by changing attitudes. We urgently need funding to help families who are struggling right now.
People with Down’s syndrome tell us they want to be active members of their communities, they want to be visible, valued and included.
Every month we receive calls for help from family members worried about the mental health of their son, daughter, brother or sister due to loneliness, isolation or exclusion.

The RSPCA is the world's oldest animal welfare charity. Our aims are to promote kindness and prevent cruelty to animals. We care about all animals: pets, farmed animals, exotics, wildlife and animals used in science - everything from puppies and kittens through to leopard geckos and guinea pigs. We have 400 frontline animal rescuers saving animals from danger every single day. We also have expert staff in 14 animal hospitals, wildlife centers and animal centres throughout England and Wales. The RSPCA’s Animal Rescue Line answered over one million calls last year - that’s one call every 30 seconds. Our aim is to prevent cruelty and in most cases investigated by our inspectors the welfare of animals is improved by the dispensing of advice and education.
