The second annual ‘Rock your Socks’ campaign by Sheffield Mencap & Gateway has been launched aimed at raising awareness and funding for individuals with learning disabilities such as Down’s Syndrome.
The initiative encourages the public to wear eye-catching socks to highlight the genetic condition, which coincides with World Down’s Syndrome Day on Thursday 21st March.
Carol Cook, Marketing, Communications and Fundraising manager at Sheffield Mencap & Gateway, said: “We encourage people to do something that seems insignificant like wearing bright coloured socks but it is a really good way to start conversation.”
