Virtual Social Events

Video call graphic

We offer people affected by Crohn's or Colitis the chance to join a virtual social event with others across the UK. The events will be a chance to chat, share experiences and potentially learn from others. Each event may have a specific topic but the overall discussion will be driven by what those attending wish to talk about.

Family, friends and colleagues are more than welcome to attend.

Living with a stoma - Virtual Social Event

To further support everyone affected by Crohn’s or Colitis, we’re planning to run a specific virtual social event aimed at people living with a stoma as a result of Crohn's or Colitis, or who are maybe getting one.

The dates for the events are still to be confirmed, but by completing this form you'll be one of the first to know about them and any future events.

Friends and Family - Virtual Social Event
