Our work and how we raise income

Published: 14 December 2015

Thousands of people give their time, money, energy and devotion to help us in the battle against Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis.

It takes a lot of ambition and hard work but we passionately believe in our mission and vision. 

We incur necessary costs in order to deliver our support services, research grants and run the charity in a professional and effective way.

In 2014 we spent 74p of each £1 raised on charitable activities and we are very proud of our achievements. 

Read about some of our work and how we spend the money that has been raised to fight Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
