All you need to do is wear some mismatched, brightly coloured statement socks! The aim is to wear something noticeable in order to start a conversation and raise awareness.\u00a0<\/p><p>This year&#8217;s global theme is #Connect, asking people to come together to support equality for people with Down Syndrome. The goal is to celebrate the power of connections and the ways it can make a difference. Additionally, it provides the opportunity for people who have Down&#8217;s syndrome to speak up and have their voices heard.\u00a0<\/p><p>There are a lot of myths and negative perceptions surrounding Down Syndrome. However, by sharing personal experiences and connecting with others in person and online, there can be a shift in perspective.\u00a0<\/p><p>Below is a video from actor and Mencap ambassador George Webster.
