Introducing our new Community Champions

Published: 26 October 2016

Crohn's & Colitis UK are honoured to recognise several dedicated supporters as Community Champions, due to their commitment, passion and exceptional efforts in support of the charity and wider Inflammatory Bowel Disease community. 

Community Champions are campaigning to raise awareness in the media, striving to resolve stigma associated with bowel conditions, taking on remarkable fundraising challenges and volunteering to make a difference in their local community.

Our close community is our biggest strength and we would not be able to continue our fight against Inflammatory Bowel Disease without it. 

There are people doing incredible things every day and launching the Commuity Champion programme is our way of recognising that.
