The Sickle Cell Society believes that individuals suffering from sickle cell disease has the right to quality care. This can only be achieved if funding is made available to educate health carers and other professionals about the condition. The Society does not discriminate between the types of sickle cell disorders or the ethnic groups concerned. Both sexes are equally affected, and should have equal access to support and services within a confidential and sensitive environment.

Our ultimate goal has always been people living in harmony with nature – so we’re about respecting and valuing the natural world and finding ways to share the Earth’s resources fairly.
To achieve that, we spend a lot of time working with communities, with politicians and with businesses too. Most of the threats to wildlife and habitats come from human pressures – from conflicts over land, particularly forests, or increasing demand for food, fuel or water.

We are a source of support, helping with all the things that people affected by cancer want and need. It’s not only patients who live with cancer, we also help carers, families and communities. We guide people through the system, supporting them every step of the way. We fund nurses and other specialist health care professionals and build cancer care centres. But we give so much more than medical help.

The NSPCC is inspired by a belief that we can make a difference for all children. That’s why we aim to end cruelty to children in the UK. Even if it takes many generations to realise it, we achieve much more for children by having this inspirational vision.

The NSPCC needs to deliver the biggest impact it can, but our limited resources are only a fraction of the government and voluntary sector’s budget for children.
