Croydon Sickle Cell & Thalassemia Support Group

About this provider

CSC&TSG believes that individuals living with sickle cell disease and thalassemia have the right to receive quality care and treatment. This can only be achieved if funding is made available to raise awareness, to educate health care providers and other professionals about the condition. CSCATSG mission is to champion this and support the work of the specialist nurses.

We do not discriminate between the types of sickle cell or thalassemia disorders or the ethnic groups concerned. We respect the views of every member and we aim to provide a safe platform for people living with these conditions to seek advice and support. We have a network of committed volunteers, who play an important part in running the charity, providing business support and assisting with fund-raising activities.

Our mission includes fighting for the conditions to become recognised on the register of diagnoses that attract free prescriptions and supporting clinicians in the pursuit of improved treatment and care, including stem cell and bone marrow transplants.

Donations from the public, fund-raising activities and membership fees supports the work that we do.  This financial support contributes to the essential welfare, research and educational projects that we facilitate.
