Crohn's and Colitis Ireland
Crohn's and Colitis Ireland, is Ireland’s leading charity in the battle against Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis.
We work to make life better for the 40,000+ people in Ireland with Crohn’s Disease, Ulcerative Colitis and other forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). We provide a range of information and support services, raise awareness of Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis through our awareness campaigns, and by working in close partnership with healthcare professionals.
Crohn’s and Colitis Ireland brings together people of all ages who have been diagnosed with IBD, their families and the health professionals involved in their care.
We welcome support from anyone who would like to help us in our work, whether as a member, volunteer or by raising funds.
Our Mission is "To improve the quality of life and well-being of those living with and impacted by IBD", through sensitive support services, including advocacy, the provision of information, training and events.
What we do:
- Peer Support

where your money goes
The information, advice, and services we provide are only made possible because of the fundraising activity of our members, fundraisers and donors. It is important to have a strong patient support group so that we are here to give the support needed by people who are living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Ireland when they need it most. It is also vitally important to give a strong voice to everyone with IBD when it comes to lobbying for improved services or raising awareness of these conditions. This is only possible with the help of the fundraising activities which supplement our membership subscription income and sponsorship.
