About us
An estimated 500,000 people in the UK are living with a lifelong disease that many people have never heard of.
Because of the stigma and misunderstanding surrounding these diseases, thousands of people are suffering in silence.
But they're not alone.
We're here for them.
We're Crohn's & Colitis UK - and we're here for everyone affected by Crohn's and Colitis.
