Sickle Cell Society

The Sickle Cell Society was first set up as a registered charity in 1979. It was formed by a group of patients, parents and health professionals who were all concerned about the lack of understanding and the inadequacy of treatment for sufferers of sickle cell disorders.

The Society provides a wide range of services, either centrally, or regionalised, from information, advice and counselling, to financial help, holidays, briefings, seminars and training. The Society advocates for the sickle cell cause and occasionally works in partnership with government agencies to deliver objectives. The Society is committed to ensuring that sufferers benefit directly from voluntary donations that make up the welfare fund.

We have supported this group since 2006.

During 2007:

• We gave an unrestricted Medical Fellowship donation of £100 to support the Sickle Cell Society for the benefit of patients, following a charity team building event at the 2007 Medical Conference.    

Our funding represents 0.015 per cent of their income overall.
