Because Sickle cell is a stigmatised condition, most people living with it keep silent, so we really need your help in raising funds for our charity.

Can we be your Charity of the Year?
Sainsbury’s Waterloo made us their charity of the year 2011 – 2012 and raised a substantial amount of money for us. We were able to fundraise in the front of the shop, which included a raffle. Thank you to Carol and her team for their support.
Get in touch if you’d like to make us your charity of the year.
