Help Us Support Children and Families Living with Sickle

Why We Need Your Support

Sickle cell is a serious and lifelong condition that disproportionately affects our community and is often misunderstood or overlooked. Many of the families we support face not only physical pain, but emotional and social challenges — including stigma, missed school, and isolation.

At Cianna’s Smile, we work tirelessly to provide:

Wellbeing workshops, days out, respite breaks and youth programmes

Educational tools for schools and healthcare professionals

Mental health support and peer connection

Awareness campaigns on the urgent need for ethnically matched blood donors

Our goal is to raise the remainder of our target of £30,000 to fund our 2025 family respite break and to sustain and grow our vital work in 2025 and beyond.
