Crohn’s & Colitis UK is one of three chosen charities to benefit from the nation-wide Waitrose Community Matters scheme.
Vote for us: Waitrose Community Matters
From now until Tuesday 28 February 2017, whenever anyone in the UK shops at Waitrose online they will have the chance to vote for our charity.
We are positioned alongside two other charities and, at the end of the three month period, £25,000 of Waitrose profit will be donated between us. It is all in proportion to the customer vote, so the more votes we get, the more money we will receive to support our fight against Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis - the two main forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
If you shop at Waitrose online, you'll get the option to vote after checkout - please vote for Crohn’s & Colitis UK. Thank you!
