Why not come along and meet old acquaintances or, if you’re newly diagnosed, come and have a chat with people who know exactly what you’re going through.

Just turn up and relax with a bunch of friendly people that all have Crohn's or Colitis in common. Friends and family are very welcome to attend.

These events are run by volunteers and if you're interested in volunteering but not sure what's involved or what opportunities there are, why not join us at this event where you can meet our organising team and event volunteers to find out whether it's for you!

If you're unable to attend but are keen to learn more about volunteering please complete an enquiry form, here.

We know that for some, talking about Crohn’s and Colitis can be difficult and that this sometimes puts them off attending our events. To hopefully help with talking about the conditions Crohn's & Colitis UK have created a Talking Toolkit to help you find the confidence and support you need to talk to other people about Crohn’s or Colitis. 

This event is hosted by Dorset & West Hampshire Local Network volunteers. Please contact us for more information. 

Other Dorset & West Hampshire Local Network event news: We hope to return to Haskins at Ferndown by the end of May, please keep an eye on website for latest news. The reason for the long gap since our last Haskins event is because the room we normally use at Haskins has been out of action due to refurbishment.
