From September 2007 to February 2008 the DSA had an advert run extensively on Nickelodeon (Sky Television) with airspace supplied for free thanks to the invaluable connections of our parent members. The advert was written and designed to raise awareness of Down's syndrome amongst children.

The advert was viewed by over 17.5 million children. It was also then featured in 747 cinemas across the country from February - May last year, and is still being shown where space is available!

You can view our advert below. (Note: You will need a Flash player to view it.)
