Water makes up two thirds of our body. It is vital we drink enough fluid to maintain a healthy balance. Many people get dehydrated by not drinking enough fluid or by losing fluids and not replacing them.

As the temperatures start to increase (very slowly it seems), please remember to keep yourself well hydrated 🌞💧

From 30th August to 1st September the will host their second Family Retreat for 30 families who have at least one child aged between 6-15 years old with sickle cell. The family retreat will be at Whitemoor Lakes in South Staffordshire (30 mins from Birmingham).

What happens at the family retreat?

Supported by a team of enthusiastic volunteers and experienced staff members, the families will embark on a programme which includes educational seminars, adventure activities such as climbing, zipwire and archery, peer-to-peer support, relaxation-based activities - and, of course, a Saturday evening disco and Friday night stories around the campfire! All of this will be delivered in a medically safe environment which has been specifically designed with children with sickle cell in mind. There will also be a creche available for those aged 6 and under.

The Sickle Cell Family Retreat is organised by the Sickle Cell Society and is led by Jessica, the Family Retreat Coordinator.

This weekend is completely free to attend, including all activities, simple shared family accommodation and food, but families must be able to travel to Whitemoor Lakes themselves. There is a small travel bursary available.

It is with great sadness that we have to announce the death of our clinical lead Dr Dimitris Tsitsikas.

He sadly passed away this morning. This is going to have a big impact on the team and our patients.

Our love and prayers go out to his family at this very difficult time. ❤️
