What to expect?

  • Share top tips on how to live well with Crohn's and Colitis
  • Discuss different topics
  • Share top tips on how to support a family member, friend or colleague with Crohn's and Colitis
  • Learn more about Crohn's & Colitis UK and our Local Networks

What will I need to take part?

All you need to join in is a laptop/tablet/phone/computer with access to a microphone and camera - this will allow you the option to be seen and heard during the online sessions. You will need a stable internet connection to use the video meeting software that we use.

What if I haven’t been sent the link?

Crohn's & Colitis UK Local Network Events

We’re here for everyone affected by Crohn’s and Colitis. Right now, an estimated 500,000 people in the UK are living with a lifelong disease that many people have never heard of. And the real number could be almost double that.  Because of the stigma and misunderstanding surrounding these diseases, thousands of people are suffering in silence.  But they are not alone. 

Our 50 Local Networks operate across the UK bringing local people affected by Crohn’s and Colitis together and raising awareness of the conditions with members of the public. From educational talks to social events, we help give people the comfort and confidence to live freer and fuller lives. And together, we can make our voice heard.
