Connect Magazine, Spring/Summer 2026
Our award-winning Connect Magazine, Spring/Summer 2026 edition.
Welcome to our new-look Connect magazine! In this edition of Connect, we catch up with our Ambassador, and Olympic swimmer Siobhan-Marie O'Connor, on what is keeping her busy now, as well as hearing her tips on staying active with Crohn's and Colitis.
We also share useful information from our Eat Well webinar, in case you couldn't make it on the day. We also follow some of our community fundraisers, and how they are making a difference close to home.
We tackle a big question - Do Crohn's and Colitis run in families? Plus we delve into ways to make travelling this Summer a little easier if you live with IBD.
And as always, we give you the latest updates in research, answer some of your questions in Just Ask, and share ways you can get involved from taking on a challenge to chatting to others at one of our virtual social events.
