03 December 2024 | 18:30-20:00 | Online

Are you living with Crohn's or Colitis and wish to chat to others who may be going through similar experiences? You're not alone.

December 1-7 is Crohn's and Colitis Awareness Week, and is the perfect opportunity to come together and talk about what it’s like to live with Inflammatory Bowel Disease or support someone who does. Everyone will have a different story to tell.
