Helpline
Need to talk, need support? What is our helpline for?
Join us from 1-7 December 2025 to talk about how it feels to live with Crohn’s or Colitis.
It isn't just the painful symptoms, the hospital trips and the medication. It's also how it makes you feel, every day, living with an invisible illness.
Whether it's worrying when to tell your date about your diagnosis, navigating the stress of starting a new job, or the fear of missing out while you're recovering from a life-changing surgery, we know that living with Crohn’s or Colitis comes with a whole lot of feelings.
We need a wider understanding in society about how living with these conditions really makes you feel. We'll be unravelling these feelings and bringing them to the surface, one voice at a time.
Keep an eye on this page and across our social media channels to find out how you can get involved!
