Sickle Cell Awareness Month
Start of the year – Fresh Start
At the start of the academic year, new student starters are asked to complete a Big Watch module. This is in support of our Education For Social Justice Framework to create awareness of social justice issues.
Sickle Cell affects between 12,500 and 15,000 people in the UK. This month, we want to create awareness of the benefits of blood giving. To donate blood or learn more, visit the NHS Sickle Cell website.
Get involved…
Check out the Big Watch and Freshers' events run by the University (usually held in the Rocket Building) and the Students' Union.
