**About the Sickle Cell Society (SCS)**
**The Sickle Cell Society (SCS) is the only national charity in the UK that supports and represents people affected by a sickle cell disorder. We provide information, advice and support to enable people to improve their overall quality of life. Approximately 15,000 people in the UK have a sickle cell disorder. These inherited conditions predominantly affect people of Black African and Black Caribbean heritage; and to a lesser extent people of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, South Asian and Central/South American heritage. **This inherited blood condition causes the collapse (sickling) of red blood cells, reducing their capacity to carry oxygen around the body. This causes acute anaemia and extreme pain as cells cannot pass freely around the body. Regular blood transfusions are often required to keep people well. A high proportion of our client group also suffer disability relating to stroke, or damage to vital organs which can lead to organ failure. We assist and enable people living with SCD to realise their full potential whilst successfully managing the challenges they face in living with this potentially life-limiting condition.
**We are a small, friendly and closely knit team of **12 skilled and highly committed staff (3 full time and 9 part time) and over 30 active volunteers. A vital resource; our aim is to invest in the passion, commitment and support of our volunteers and their development. We rely on their support to increase our capacity. We draw on their knowledge and experience to inform the development of our service-users’ activities and effectively utilise volunteers’ life-skills to support a wide range of tasks, activity and events.
