how your donation helps

Your donation can help change the future for children with Crohn’s and colitis

 

When you donate to CICRA you’re helping to fund ground-breaking research that brings us closer to better treatments and hopefully one day, a cure for childhood IBD (inflammatory bowel disease).

Your support also means that families get the help they need from the moment their child is diagnosed. Parents and carers won’t feel lost or alone — they’ll have clear information, expert advice, and understanding at every step.

Your donation helps to:
• Fund vital medical research, helping scientists make real progress toward better treatments and an eventual cure.
• Provide easy-to-understand parent packs at diagnosis, filled with clear, practical information and reassurance.
• Offer personal support by phone, email, and social media for parents and young people trying to cope with the challenges of IBD.
• Run Family Information Days, bringing together families and specialists to share knowledge, experiences, and hope.
• Give guidance for schools, including advice for parents on how to navigate Individual Healthcare Plans (IHPs) and ensure their child gets the right understanding and support in school.

CICRA doesn’t receive any government funding, so every penny you give truly counts. You can make a one-off or regular donation or even leave a gift in your will to help future generations of children.

With your help, we can make sure no child faces Crohn’s or colitis alone — and we can bring hope of a healthier future closer every day.

Thank you so much for your support
