CoRONAVIRUS

COVID Update - January 2021

Our offices will be partially closed due to COVID-19 as part our measures to help prevent the spreading of virus and keeping staff, volunteers,  the public and service users safe. 


Several individuals and families living with Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia have been identified as vulnerable by the NHS and therefore will require support during the period of shielding during Lockdown 3.


We are currently helping those most at need and vulnerable during this national lockdown. All group activities and events are currently paused. Essential pre-booked face to face appointments or small support groups can be provided.
 

You can still contact us for guidance, advice, information, or other forms of support on the following methods below:
