More about our charity's work and how you could get involved
We are hosting five 'Together Days' across the UK which will launch our new model of volunteering.
Joining us at a 'Together Day' will be a great opportunity to meet others already involved in the work of the Charity or those interested in getting involved.
It will provide an update for attendees on how you can volunteer, different volunteer activities, how we can train and support you and the tools, resources and materials available to equip you in your volunteering.
We’ll also be updating people on all of the other exciting things happening at Crohn’s and Colitis UK such as our new brand, website, membership offer and fundraising resources! All of these developments will help us reach and support more people affected by IBD.
