We're fundraising for Crohn's & Colitis UK! In July, Aug & Sept 2023, proceeds from r4csco's Twitch streams (with Velvet the lazy greyhound on the sofa) and Velvet & Friends events will be donated to this charity.

My dad died last July and this is a charity that he supported, so we are fundraising again in his memory.

UPDATE: Mum lived with ulcerative colitis for several years; it had a big impact on her quality of life and was the reason Dad supported the work of this charity. Very sadly, she died suddenly and unexpectedly this July, from other causes.

From the charity:

"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."

All donations made via this page will go directly to the charity.
