Accessible toilets campaign
We have been fighting to end the stigma for people with Crohn's and Colitis using accessible public toilets. A major worry for people living with an “invisible disability” such as Crohn’s Disease or Ulcerative Colitis is being refused access to or confronted for using accessible toilets.
Our accessible toilets campaign has already seen several major supermarkets installing our “Not every disability is visible” signs on their accessible facilities, but we’re not stopping here.
Join our campaign to raise even more awareness for invisible disabilities and help end the stigma for good.
