I wanted to get involved in the Virtual Social Events because I always loved hosting the face to face events. I wanted to be able to apply my experience to this new virtual world and still be able to give something back. Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis can be isolating conditions at the best of times, let alone in a pandemic, and I really wanted to help support others.
I always enjoy the opportunity to meet people who have been affected by the conditions, sharing experiences together in a non-judgmental, informal environment and being able to offer support. There’s always something new to learn too!

Virtual Social Event Volunteer
It’s s really rewarding role, just being able to feel you’ve helped out a little bit and supported someone that may not have had an outlet or spoken up before. There’s a great sense of community.
Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, develop new skills and make a difference to everyone affected by Crohn's and Colitis.
