Sickle Cell Society Set to Benefit from Forthcoming BBC Radio 4 Appeal

Dr Lorna Bennett, Chairperson of the Sickle Cell Society explains:

"It's fantastic to see the case of sickle cell care and research reaching such a mainstream audience. The aim of the appeal is to both raise awareness of sickle cell disorder and gain financial assistance for The Society's Regional Care Advisors Programme which provides practical support and assistance to individuals and families affected by sickle cell disorder."

Diane Louise Jordan is one of the most popular presenters of BBC ONE's Songs of Praise and was a presenter on the long-running BBC ONE children's programme Blue Peter. She has previously worked with us and was very keen to support The Society once again through a broadcast appeal.
