This is my campaign video for the Sickle Cell Society. Sickle Cell affects so many people and there doesn’t seem to be much done about it. This campaign project is also part of my Creative and Media diploma, but I’m just happy that I can do some good and still be doing my work at the same time. If you have any questions please just ask.

There are 240,000 people in the UK who are carriers of the sickle cell gene and about 14,500 people have a sickle cell disorder - making it the most common inherited blood disorder in the country (National Screening Committee for Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia, 2006).

Sickle Cell mainly affects people of African, Caribbean, Indian, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern descent. Approximately 1 in 10 people of African- Caribbean origin, 1 in 4 West Africans, 1 in 20-50 Asians, 1 in 100 Northern Greeks and 1 in 1000 Caucasians are believed to carry the gene for sickle cell disorder. Screening identifies approximately 350 babies born each year with sickle cell disorder (National Screening Committee for Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia, 2009
