A Look at the Upside
The Upside campaign looks at the benefits to us all when people with Down syndrome are included in society in a meaningful way.
The benefits of inclusion are numerous, not only for people with Down syndrome and their families, but for all of society. That means you! An inclusive society is one that over-rides differences, ensures equality of opportunity and full participation by its members
We asked our members to highlight the value that including people with Down syndrome brings to the economy, society and the spirit of communities and the nation as a whole.

Thank you to our Down Syndrome Tipperary Branch members for sharing this excellent video with us, to help celebrate our 50th as part of TheUpSide campaign – in this video, our members showcase some of their dreams/goals they have set for their lives as adults in a more inclusive and accepting Ireland. Yes, we definitely think they CAN!
