Sickle Cell Community Picnic
NHS South East London Integrated Care System are running a special event celebrating the strength and spirit of the sickle cell community in South East London. The Sickle Cell Community Picnic takes place on Saturday 20 June from 11am to 3pm in Crystal Palace Park, Cricket Pitch.
This free community picnic is open to everyone; patients, carers, families, NHS staff, and local partners. It’s a chance to come together for a relaxed and uplifting afternoon in the park, with food, music, games, and activities for all ages.
The event will also highlight the work of the South East London Enhanced Sickle Cell Community Service, the Sickle Cell Society’s Peer Mentoring Programme, and the contributions of NHS clinicians and community partners supporting people living with sickle cell.
Throughout the day, we will focus on listening and learning from the community.
Together we will:
- Celebrate local work supporting people living with sickle cell
- Share patient, carer and staff experiences to inform future improvements
- Explore new opportunities for collaboration
We warmly welcome:
- People living with sickle cell
- Carers and family members
- Voluntary and community organisations
- NHS and clinical staff
- Local authority and ICB colleagues
