Children's Holiday Project

A project by OSCAR Birmingham Ltd

Children's Holiday Project

As part of this commitment we kick starting our fundraising to provide a children's holiday programme each year with your help.

Why they need our service

Children and young people who live with sickle cell disease and thalassaemia need extra support and care due to the complex nature of the invisible illness. Children will not just encounter physical challenges but many will experience stress, anxiety, low levels of self-esteem & confidence and fear. OSCAR Birmingham is the only locally based community charity supporting children, young people and their families helping to improve the quality of their health and well-being.

Plan and expected results

We would like to support up to 30 children and young people aged 8-17 years old from the Birmingham and surrounding areas to take part on a week's holiday so they have opportunity to: - Develop confidence and new skills - Reduce feelings of isolation - Connect with others and learn - Building resilience - Respite for parents/carers
