Our member organisations are at the heart of AFSSG. These groups provide direct support and advocacy to community members across London and allow us to reach more people and make a greater impact. We offer membership to independent, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organisations across the UK to join us in our efforts to provide education, increase awareness, support individuals living with sickle cell disease and sickle trait and their families and find a universal cure for this life-threatening disease.
