Self Over Sickle
SELF OVER SICKLE
The Self Over Sickle programme (SOS) promotes improved physical, psychological, social and emotional wellbeing, primarily for young people aged 16-25. Focusing on areas of transition from moving away from home and dating to pursuing a career and raising a family, the sessions are entwined with games and creative activities to practically and positively impact all who attend.
Taking place across weekday evenings, spanning the East and West Midlands, Manchester, Yorkshire and South London, sessions are open to those who live locally and those willing to travel.

40 Day Challenge
ARE YOU TAKING PART IN THE SELF OVER SICKLE 40 DAY CHALLENGE?
In celebration of 40 years of the Sickle Cell Society, the Self Over Sickle team have curated 40 daily challenges for you to try and share with us!
It runs from the 1st November – 10th December but you can start any time!
From showing your outfit of the day (#OOTD) and how you’re keeping warm this Winter to lip-syncing to your favourite feel good song, the SOS challenge has no limits. We want to remind sickle cell warriors, carers and advocates everywhere that you still have the power. No challenge is too great, especially when we work together.
So what are you waiting for?
