On Friday 21st March, staff at Halcyon Medical took part in two fantastic awareness events – Comic Relief (Red Nose Day) and Odd Sock Day in support of Down Syndrome Awareness.

Comic Relief is a UK charity that uses the power of entertainment to raise money and awareness for people living incredibly tough lives, both in the UK and around the world. Red Nose Day is their flagship fundraising campaign, encouraging people to have fun while supporting serious causes like homelessness, mental health support, and child poverty.

Odd Sock Day is held annually on World Down Syndrome Day, encouraging people to wear brightly coloured or mismatched socks. It’s a fun and visual way to raise awareness and celebrate the uniqueness of individuals with Down syndrome.

Our team showed their support by wearing red and quirky socks, creating smiles, starting conversations, and showing solidarity with both causes. We’re proud to share that through the generosity of our staff, we raised £80.
