This is a pilot event offering the chance to join a virtual social event with other parents and carers from across the UK.

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.

What to expect?

• Virtually meet other parents or carers whose children are affected by Crohn's or Colitis
• Have a chance to share experiences
• Discuss different topics
• Share top tips on supporting children with Crohn's or Colitis
• Learn more about Crohn's & Colitis UK and our Local Networks

What will I need to take part?

Joining is easy. All you need is a laptop/tablet/phone/computer with access to a microphone. If it has a camera too then you can switch it on if you wish. You will need a stable internet connection to use the video meeting software.

What if I haven’t been sent the link?

Upon signing up you will shortly be sent the meeting link to join the event on the day. You will also receive it in a reminder email 48 hours before the event. The email we send might go into your junk folder so please check before the meeting starts that you can find it.

• Only for parents or carers of children (any age) with Crohn's or Colitis
