What it costs NACC members are asked to pay an annual subscription of £12. New members who are on a low income due to their health or employment circumstances may join at a reduced rate. Please email on the NACC membership team for more information. Overseas members are asked to pay £15 annually. Additional donations to help the work of the Association are always welcomed. If you would like to apply for membership, please click here The Association gives members a combined membership and ‘Can’t Wait’ Card which is renewable annually. The card carries the message "Please help - our member has a medical condition which is not infectious and means they need to use 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 confirms 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. NACC News This is our quarterly national newsletter which has articles on the latest research and treatment news, features on living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, personal stories and news of NACC activities and events. The lively Mailbag section has personal experiences, comments and practical tips from other members. Local Groups There are Crohn’s and Colitis UK Groups in most parts of the United Kingdom. If you give your permission when you join or afterwards, we will pass on your name to the Group in your area. These Groups are run by local volunteers and offer educational or support meetings, news of local publicity and fund-raising activities, together with a local point of contact.
