Helpline
Need to talk, need support? What is our helpline for?
We are the UK’s leading charity for Crohn’s and Colitis. Our information can help you understand Crohn's and Colitis so you can make informed decisions about your health.
If you're a healthcare professional working in the UK, you can order printed copies of our booklets and information packs free of charge. You need to register first to get unique login details for our online store.
We know it can be difficult to live with, or support someone living with these conditions. But you’re not alone. We provide clear, accurate and balanced information and can support you to live well with Crohn’s or Colitis. Please contact us via telephone, live chat or message us - 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday (except English bank holidays).
You will receive regular communications from us about our work, innovations in Crohn’s and Colitis research and updates from experts in the field, helping you to stay up to date with the latest developments, and to stay connected to the community.
Membership costs as little as £15 a year by Direct Debit or £19 a year by credit card. You could be a patient, parent or carer, health professional or just want to support the work of Crohn’s & Colitis UK. Membership is open to anyone over the age of 16 years. You can read our terms and conditions.
At Crohn’s & Colitis UK, we are committed to sharing a wide range of experiences that represent the people we serve, in all their similarities and differences. We contacted Lori to ask her if she’d like to write this blog and add her voice to the stories we’re telling. We are working hard to work with members of our Crohn’s & Colitis UK community who may represent different communities to those we usually represent. We want to reach people and share their stories, regardless of ethnicity, age, disability, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or belief. If you feel underrepresented in our work, we want to change that.
We offer people affected by Crohn's or Colitis the chance to join a virtual social event with others across the UK. The events will be a chance to chat, share experiences and potentially learn from others. Family, friends and colleagues are more than welcome to attend.
Please note that these events are:
