FAQ's

  • What happens if I can't reach my fundraising pledge target?

    When signing up for your chosen event with Crohn’s & Colitis UK, you agreed to the terms and conditions of raising the minimum fundraising target. 

    There is no obligation, whatsoever, to do so, but if you would prefer to personally contribute towards your sponsorship amount, we’re more than happy to accept personal donations.

    Struggling to hit your target? Try a simple fundraiser like a cake sale, raffle, or quiz night. These can really boost your total. 

    Your efforts matter. 1 in 123 people in the UK live with Crohn’s or Colitis, and every pound you raise helps fund vital research, support services, better care and faster diagnosis.
