Welcome to the NACC website

The National Association for Colitis and Crohn's Disease (NACC) brings together people of all ages who have Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn’s Disease, their families and the health professionals involved in their care. These two illnesses are both forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and they affect about 1 in 400 people in the United Kingdom. We hope that you will find the information you are looking for within our website.

NACC provides:

-support through our 70 Groups, the NACC-in-Contact Support Line and individual personal grants;

-an Information Service by telephone and email;

-facts about IBD;

-a range of Information Sheets on specific topics;

-guidance on benefits;

-articles on IBD research; and

-£300,000 a year investment in research (medical, social and psychological )
 

NACC members receive:

-a pack of booklets and four issues of NACC News a year; and

-a combined Membership and 'Can't Wait' Card, which is renewed annually. The card carries the message 'Please help - our member has a medical condition which means they need to use your toilet facilities urgently. Your kindness and cooperation would be much appreciated'.  The card is intended to support you in the event that you need to ask to use the staff toilet facilities in a shop, garage etc in an emergency. The card does not guarantee that you will be allowed to use these facilities as companies are not willing to give such a commitment, but it may confirm that you have a genuine and urgent need. NACC encourages companies to allow access to toilets as part of a good 'customer care' policy and from time to time publicises the Can't Wait Card scheme to make retailers and staff aware of the need.

-access to the facilities that will be offered on the members' section of this website which will include a discussion board for NACC members.

Research into Improving Care for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

NACC is helping with some background research on Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis.

Please follow this link if you would be willing to complete an on-line survey.  The company has kindly offered to donate £10 to NACC for each completed questionnaire.

Many thanks – the outcome of the survey will be reported in NACC News later in the year.
