To raise awareness for & to support people living with Sickle Cell Anaemia & Thalassemia Disease.

This will also help to fund PHCN's initiatives & planned programmes to support people living with Sickle Cell Disease, in London Borough of Barking & Dagenham (LBBD), East London & the Essex area.

The following are the main objectives of PHCN's Sickle Cell initiatives;

1). Help improve the health, lifestyle & general wellbeing of Sickle cell patients, including their ability to enjoy and pursue their livelihood.

2). Empower sufferers, their carers and the local community in terms of building their capacity to participate, train, organise events and provision of care for themselves and others.

3). To organise social events for members & their families, to help them live their lives on a normal daily basis, while thriving with the Sickle Cell condition.

4). Raise the awareness of Sickle Cell Anaemia Disorder and its causes, primarily within the communities, towards preventing the further spread of the illness by producing educational material, for use by health agencies, professionals, establishments and other providers in the community.

5). To help with issues that may be of concern to the Sickle Cell community/group, such as hospital needs, treatments, schools and support networks, as well as bringing a voice for its members.
