15 January 2025 | 18:30-20:00 | Online

If someone you know has Crohn’s or Colitis, the little things you do for them can mean a lot. Joining this event could be one of them.

It can be really hard to know how best to support someone who’s living with Crohn’s or Colitis. The good news is that there are lots of things you can do to help.

We’re offering the chance to join a virtual social event with other people who are a friend, partner or family member of someone living with Crohn’s or Colitis

The event will be a chance to chat, share experiences and potentially learn from others. The topics discussed will be down to you and a trained volunteer will help to lead the meeting, making sure everyone has a chance to speak.
