What our members say
The website is one of THE most helpful things, even before being officially diagnosed, I was suspected to have Ulcerative Colitis so I just devoured everything Crohn's & Colitis UK had available online and it made me feel less scared. I am now a member and I feel welcomed and part of something massive - I am definitely not alone!
My Crohn's got the better of me whilst still having circa 20 minutes left on my bus journey. Rather than risk an accident I decided to get off the bus early and try and use the Tesco Express Toilets. They had no customer toilet, but on asking and production of the Can't Wait Card I was immediately (and politely) shown to the staff toilets, no qualms. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I have been a member for more than 30 years; the help, support and all the info received is worth every penny. There are no other organisations for Inflammatory Bowel Disease that offer such a brilliant service for such a low cost.
