We celebrated World Down Syndrome Day at Tara Mines by joining the “Lots of Socks” campaign 💙💛
A huge thank you to everyone who got involved - wearing their odd socks, sharing photos, and voting. It’s great to see the support across site raising awareness for Down syndrome.
A special thank you to our colleague Conal Kelleher, Drill and Blast Technician, who helped bring this initiative to Tara Mines and shared his personal experience as a parent. His story was a powerful reminder of focusing on ability, inclusion, and opportunity.
He also received the majority of the votes and was chosen as our “Lots of Socks” winner, proudly wearing blue and yellow in support of the global Down syndrome awareness colours.
