Cianna’s Smile Thanks BAFA Reading for Generous Donation Supporting Families Impacted by Sickle Cell

Cianna’s Smile is delighted to extend our heartfelt gratitude to BAFA Reading for their generous donation of £500.

This vital contribution will help us provide much-needed respite and enriching experiences for families impacted by sickle cell.

This support will contribute to taking 20 families on a summer respite break and offer local children living with sickle cell the opportunity to enjoy exciting days out.

These experiences are more than just moments of fun—they provide a chance for children to create lasting memories, connect with others facing similar challenges, and embrace a sense of belonging in a supportive environment.

“We are incredibly grateful to BAFA Reading for their kindness and commitment to our cause,” said Hayley King, Charity Founder at Cianna’s Smile. “Living with sickle cell can be incredibly challenging, and opportunities like these give children and families the chance to unwind, have fun, and feel understood. This donation will make a real difference in their lives.”

Cianna’s Smile continues to work tirelessly to support children and families impacted by sickle cell, raising awareness and creating a sense of community. With the backing of local organisation's like BAFA Reading, we can ensure that more young people have access to joyful and inclusive experiences that enhance their well-being.
