Volunteering is a great way to help others and feel part of a community, sometimes this help is replicating the help you once received from Crohn's & Colitis UK or sometimes it's giving the help that you wish you or someone you care about received or needed at a tough moment in your life.
You may also have no connection to Crohn's or Colitis and just simply wish to help others through sharing your own skills and experience.

Even as a volunteer myself, I found meeting and chatting with others affected by the conditions incredibly comforting.

Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, develop new skills and make a difference to everyone affected by Crohn's and Colitis.
