Our helpline team can help by:

Providing information about Crohn’s and Colitis.

Listening and talking through your situation.
-
Helping you to find support from others in the Crohn’s and Colitis community.
-
Providing details of other specialist organisations.
Please be aware we’re not medically or legally trained. We cannot provide detailed financial or benefits advice or specialist emotional support.
