Our policy work

Print Save to My Page

We develop policy solutions and drive policy change to improve the lives of people with Crohn's and Colitis. We work with politicians, policymakers and in partnership with people affected by Crohn's and Colitis and other organisations to improve the lives of children and adults with Crohn’s and Colitis today, and for tomorrow’s cure.

We bring the voices of people affected by Crohn’s and Colitis to UK and devolved parliaments. We work with governments and politicians to improve care and support, employment and research.

How do we work with politicians, policymakers and NHS leaders?

We work to increase their understanding of the issues impacting people living with these conditions by:

Increasing their understanding of Crohn’s and Colitis
Sharing the latest evidence and position statements
Signposting you to information about your local IBD services

How can you get involved?

If you have contact with your local politicians about Crohn’s and Colitis please share your experiences and let us know how you got on by emailing policy@crohnsandcolitis.org.uk

None of our award-winning campaigns, on the issues that matter to you, would be possible without the diverse voices of our campaigning community. It’s easy to get involved and to add your voice today. You can join our campaigns network to be the first to know about new campaigns, petitions and consultations and how your voice is making a difference.
