Current ways to get involved
We need people affected by Crohn’s and Colitis to take part in research!
This could mean taking part in a drug trial or giving a blood sample, completing a questionnaire, or even taking part in a focus group. Involving people with Crohn’s and Colitis at every stage of a study makes for better research, better results, and increased likelihood of improving lives and finding a cure. See our latest research opportunities and find out more.
Local Networks are teams of volunteers that raise awareness in their communities by hosting educational, information, social and fundraising events. 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. Learn more about the opportunities available in your Local Network.
Your voice matters. By taking a few minutes to complete our surveys, you help shape our work and set our priorities. We are committed to a diverse and inclusive space where every opinion counts. Together, we can drive change and build a better future for those living with the conditions.
We need you – working together we can make a difference
