Urgent Appeal News

Your support is needed more than ever

Published 04 May 2020

This week we have launched an urgent appeal as we wanted to let you know that right now, we need your help more than ever.

As part of our caring community, you will know that we want to help everybody affected by Crohn's and Colitis.

We are updating our website every day with Coronavirus information to ensure that we are supporting those who need us as best we can but this doesn't come without its challenges. Calls to our helpline have risen by 400% and visits to our website have increased by 600%.

You may already have donated a gift during the crisis and if this is the case, we can't thank you enough for your kindness and generosity.

A £25 donation from you could help pay for vital daily updates to our website. With your support, we can step up our provision of key information for people with Crohn's and Colitis around the country.

We're working tirelessly to keep up with the demand for our support so, should you need us, please don't think twice about getting in touch.
