Someone I don't know well

Perhaps you're not a close friends with anyone living with Crohn's or Colitis, but someone you interact with regularly has one of the conditions and you'd like to know more about it. Perhaps it's a friendly neighbour, a friend of a friend or even your hairdresser! No matter who it is, it's amazing that you want to support them, and our information can help you understand what they might be going through.

All our information about Crohn's and Colitis

Our information hub can help you understand everything about the conditions, their symptoms and treatments, surgery and complications, as well as other useful information.

Hear from people living with the conditions

Our blogs feature stories from real people from all walks of life, highlighting how there's not a "one size fits all" experience of Crohn's or Colitis. By reading our blogs, you can get a feel for how wide-ranging the impacts of these conditions can be, and learn simple ways you can help the person you know.

We also share regular stories over on our Instagram channel.
