Who We Are

History

Organisation for Sickle Cell Relief & Thalassaemia Support (OSCAR) is a voluntary organisation and registered charity established to promote greater awareness of Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia blood disorders and to support individuals affected. 


We are the only community based local charity in Birmingham providing services arising from complex issues for those affected by this long term genetic blood condition. Our approach is based on person centred approach to meet the needs of patients and service users.

Our vision is to strive to achieve a climate in which individuals and families with Sickle Cell & Thalassaemia blood disorder receive excellent information, quality care and support.


Our aim is to work in partnership to help improve the quality of health, social and economic well-being for children, young people, families and adults living with Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia in the Birmingham and surrounding area.
