Connect, April 2025
Our award-winning Connect Magazine, Spring/Summer 2025 edition.
In this edition of Connect, we focus on fatigue as we learn together the best ways to live with one of the most difficult symptoms of Crohn's and Colitis. We also navigate the benefits system and give you some tips for applying for PIP or ADP.
Three members of our wonderful community share their journeys with us, and show us the different ways Crohn's and Colitis can impact our lives.
And as always, we give you the latest updates in research, answer some of your questions in Just Ask, and share ways you can get involved from taking on a challenge to chatting at one of our virtual social events.
Plus, if you'd like to come along to our AGM on 19th July, you can find out how to sign up inside!
