Break the silence

It takes guts to talk about Crohn’s and Colitis.

By starting conversations in every town across the UK, we can – and will – change lives. No more stigma. No more isolation. Better understanding and more support, up and down the country.

As we work towards tomorrow’s cure, we can improve the quality of so many lives today. Together, we just need to take that first step. Because no one can see it, until we say it.

The #ItTakesGuts movement helps start the conversations that really matter. 

We help people living with the conditions find the confidence and support they need to speak up and we help their families, friends, colleagues and classmates see both the suffering and the strength that was previously hidden in plain sight. 

Together, we will help society understand and tackle this unspoken and growing health crisis. 


Start conversations that really matter.
