NACC - IBD and me

IBD and Me logo IBD and Me is for young people aged 16 – 29 living with Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn’s Disease. It started as a programme of small group meetings where young people met and talked about their life with IBD and how they thought NACC might be able to help. Now you can join the IBD and Me discussion forum and share experiences with other young people. There are information sheets about schools, university, work, relationships and other issues that young people have said would be helpful.

Have a look at the IBD and Me pages and tell us what else you would like to see.

Help us reach out to other young people who have IBD and encourage them to take part too.
