Family, friends and former school friends of Evan Nathan Smith gathered in his memory on 9 February to mark the formal naming of the sickle cell and thalassaemia day care unit at North Mid in his honour, with the generous support of his parents. 

Betty and Charles Smith were joined for the unveiling of a brass plaque featuring their son’s name by close and extended family, friends and former school friends of their late son, and campaigners from the sickle cell and thalassaemia patient communities, who have supported them so significantly over the past years.
