Today we are taking part in Odd Sock Day to raise funds and awareness for Down Syndrome.
The date for World Down Syndrome Day being the 21st day of the 3rd month, was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome.
One of our wonderful members of staff's son was born with Down Syndrome. So we are joining in with Odd Sock Day to help create a single global voice for advocating for the rights, inclusion, and wellbeing of people with Down syndrome on 21 March.
We are donating to Shining Stars A support group for parents of children with Down Syndrome.
Based in various locations in Thurrock.

Lest we forget,
The boy who died in the morning sun,
The girl who died from a sniper's gun,
All those who stood and refused to run,
Lest we forget,
We must never forget.
A flag draped coffin in the morning rain,
An unsung hero is home again,
Wreaths of poppies, pride and tears
The price of war paid with their lost years
They died with honour in a far off land,
In fields of mud and hills of sand
They fought and died for our liberty,
May they live forever in our memory.
A loved one lost and millions more
In their land of birth or a foreign shore,
A family's grief for theirs who died,
Knows no frontier or a country's pride.
Those lost at sea, on land or sky
Lie silent as their loved ones cry,
Remembered now and for ever more,
May their sacrifice bring an end to war

We remember - with humility - the great and the ultimate sacrifices that were made in every war and conflict where our service personnel have fought - to ensure the liberty and freedoms that we now take for granted.
Every year, on the 11 November, we remember the Unknown Warrior.
"At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them".
