I know times of very difficult so anything you can spare would be greatly appreciated to help fund vital research to work toward a cure for inflammatory bowel disease, and it will help sustain support programs for people living with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

We’re the UK’s leading charity for Crohn’s and Colitis.

Right now, an estimated 500,000 people in the UK are living with a lifelong disease that many people have never heard of. And the real number could be almost double that.

Because of the stigma and misunderstanding surrounding these diseases, thousands of people are suffering in silence.

But they’re not alone.

We’re working to improve diagnosis and treatment, and to fund research into a cure; to raise awareness and to give people hope, comfort and confidence to live freer, fuller lives.
