Crohn's and Colitis Relief

About Our Foundation

We Help People to Overcome Stigma & Barriers

Crohn’s and Colitis Relief (CCR) was set up as a free service to improve the quality of life of people across the country affected by Inflammatory Bowel Disease as well as similar related illnesses. CCR primarily targets the Jewish Ashkenazi community where there is an exceptionally high percentage of people suffering from these diseases.  Our work is dedicated to funding and delivering activities to support and relieve people suffering from IBD/IBS, and to improve their lives.

​

Since a diagnosis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease can initially prove overwhelming for a patient and their family, CCR’s dedicated group of volunteer support workers is available to help families to understand the condition, offer informed answers to questions and suggest further sources of support.
