Inherited Blood Disorders Awareness Day – 18 October

We stand with everyone affected by inherited blood disorders such as Sickle Cell Disorder, Thalassaemia, and Rare Inherited Anaemias. 

It’s a global opportunity to recognise the challenges and celebrate the resilience of individuals and families affected by inherited blood disorders.

These conditions are lifelong and often misunderstood — yet they affect thousands of families across the UK. Awareness, early testing and access to specialist care can make all the difference.

At Sickle Cell Suffolk, we’re committed to: Supporting individuals and families living with sickle cell Raising awareness in our community Encouraging blood donation Advocating for better understanding and care

Together, we make change happen.

Let’s spread the word, share the facts, and show our support!
