Welcome to Great Angels Foundation...
Practical help, clear information, and real community for people affected by sickle cell.
Great Angels Foundation supports children, young people, adults, and families living with sickle cell across Greater Manchester. Our approach is whole-person and wrap-around: peer groups, youth activities, and family workshops sit alongside plain-English guides, clinic preparation cards, and school or employer briefings. We work with haematology teams and GPs, signpost to urgent care (999) and NHS 111, and offer quick downloads for day-to-day self-management. Sessions are welcoming, accessible, and culturally competent, with reasonable adjustments available on request. We also run community awareness and blood-donation campaigns, and we gather feedback so services improve over time. Whether you need immediate guidance, a safe space to talk, or practical tools for school and work, we’re here to help you live well and feel connected.
