We need your help to take part in a short survey to better understand how people access toilets away from their home and how they feel about other toileting needs, as part of cross charity work with other continence charities.
Help us better understand your toileting needs
Take part in our survey (now closed)
We are working with other UK based continence charities within an informal group called Toilet Consortium UK, to try and better understand people’s toileting needs.
This will help us work together on unified and shared priorities to work with a larger voice to promote issues like improving access to toilets, increase awareness of continence issues and hidden disabilities in general.
It’s only a short survey so please take 2-3 minutes to fill it out.
If you have any questions about the survey or the charities work more generally in this area, please email our Policy, Public Affairs and Research Team on ppr@crohnsandcolitis.org.uk
