Your Local Group...

Each local group is run by an organising team of volunteers, and is funded entirely by local

fundraising. They provide the opportunity for anyone affected by IBD (for example patients, their families and friends) to meet other people who understand the challenges of living with the conditions, and can also support them to access information and support from the national charity. The activities vary from group to group, but can include:

• Groups hold meetings that can range from informal 'get-togethers' to meetings on specific subjects, such as diet, research etc.
• They carry out a wide range of activities that raise awareness in their communities, eg information stands and social events.

For a full list of the Group locations (there are lots!) please visit the Groups pages on our main website.
