Learn about some of the reasons people volunteer and what they get from volunteering with Crohn's & Colitis UK.
Reasons to get involved
Whether it's through sharing my own story to let others know they're not alone or by helping to refine information so it's easily digestible (pun not intended), every contribution feels like a step towards a more supportive and understanding community.
