Helpline
Need to talk, need support? What is our helpline for?
From Monday 2nd to Sunday 8th June 2025 we celebrated the incredible people who make such a difference in our community. Every day, volunteers give their time, energy, and compassion to support those living with Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis-and their impact is truly immeasurable. From raising awareness, organising social and educational events, to sharing information about our charity and helping to connect people, our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. This week, we’re shone a spotlight on their dedication, sharing their stories, and saying a heartfelt thank you for all that they do.
