Apart from funding research one of the aims of the charity is to help families of children with Inflammatory Bowel Disease. If you have a child with IBD and are not finding it easy to cope with the day to day problems it may help to talk to other parents who have been in a similar situation – just ring the office and somebody will be able to help

CICRA has various helpful leaflets for parents, teachers etc. and issues a quarterly newsletter. If you would like to receive these please go to ‘Publications’

Can't Wait Card

These cards bear the Crohn's or Colitis sufferer's name and photograph, and are invaluable when urgent toilet facilities are required. To obtain a "Can't Wait" card please send a passport sized photograph together with the name of the person pictured, along with your address, or even better, a self addressed envelope to the CICRA office. If you have any questions to ask about the card please call us   or email us .
