OSCAR Birmingham supporting children, young people and families affected Sickle Cell & Thalassaemia
We are a small voluntary organisation. Our aim is to help improve the quality of life for individuals especially children and families who are affected by a life limiting blood disorder Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia. We work to address and challenge social exclusion for those facing difficulties arising due to their disorder in addition to raising public awareness through education and training. We aim to influence social policy at local and national level.
