We are the Buckinghamshire New University African Society, a student-led society committed to bringing people together, celebrating African cultures and making a positive difference within our university and wider community.

As part of our commitment to giving back, we have chosen the (Sickle Cell Society) as our RAG (Raise and Give) charity. We are raising funds to support the important work they do for individuals and families affected by sickle cell disease.

Sickle cell disease is a serious inherited condition that affects many individuals and families, including members of African and other communities. Raising awareness, improving understanding and supporting those living with the condition is something we believe deserves attention and action. As an African Society, this cause is particularly meaningful to us because of the impact sickle cell disease has on many families within our communities.

On Friday, 20th November 2026, we will be hosting a charity bake sale at Buckinghamshire New University. We are inviting students, staff, friends and the wider community to support the cause by purchasing baked goods and making additional donations through this GoFundMe page.

All funds raised through this fundraiser will go towards supporting the Sickle Cell Society and its work providing information, support, advocacy and raising awareness for people affected by sickle cell disease.

Every donation, regardless of size, brings us one step closer to making a difference. Whether you donate, purchase something at our bake sale or share this fundraiser with others, your support means so much to us.

Together, let's raise awareness, show support and make every contribution count.

Thank you for supporting the BNU African Society and helping us make a difference! ❤️
