International Day of the Charity

5 Sept

Today, on International Day of Charity, we join charities and communities around the world in recognising the power of kindness, generosity, and compassion. For SOFT UK, this day is a meaningful reminder of why we exist: to support families affected by Trisomy 13 (Patau’s Syndrome) and Trisomy 18 (Edwards’ Syndrome).

Why This Day Matters to SOFT UK

The International Day of Charity is more than a date in the calendar, it is a chance to celebrate the ways that charitable organisations bring hope and connection to people facing challenges. For many families who receive a Trisomy diagnosis, the future feels uncertain and overwhelming. That’s where SOFT UK steps in:

Offering emotional support through our helpline and family networks
Providing trusted information to help families make informed choices
Creating spaces of understanding and community, so no one feels alone

Every message, every resource, and every event is made possible thanks to the generosity of donors and supporters who believe in our mission.

The Ripple Effect of Charity

Charity is never just about financial giving, it’s about creating ripples of care. A supportive phone call to a parent, a listening ear in a moment of crisis, or a shared story of resilience can change a family’s journey entirely.

When you support SOFT UK, whether by donating, volunteering, or simply sharing our message, you become part of those ripples. You help ensure that families who need us can find us.

How You Can Get Involved

On this International Day of Charity, we invite you to:

Share our message: Help more families discover SOFT UK by spreading the word on social media.
Make a donation: Every contribution, big or small, enables us to continue providing essential support.
Show your support: A simple message of encouragement can mean the world to a family who feels alone.

Thank You

To our incredible community, families, volunteers, fundraisers, and friends, thank you. Your kindness and compassion keep SOFT UK alive and thriving. On this International Day of Charity, we celebrate you.
