ABOUT US
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 where there is an community 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.

PROJECTS
Respite
Patients and their families need to unwind after surgery. We plan to finance holiday accommodation, camp/day camp fees, hotel stays and special travel expenses.
Sports
Exercise for keeping fit and relieving stress such as personal trainers, swimming, cycling and other sports.
Visitors
Transport
Provision of free transport to medical appointments, surgery, colonoscopy/endoscopy, and individualised travel if needed to attend school, work or anywhere else.
Due to covid we were limited with visits and entertainment in hospital or at home. Therefore we had a hotline for people to call for support. The volunteers would give out gifts and arrange for therapists, mental health counsellors, a cheer up squad, music lessons, lego therapy, magicians and educational games.
Modulen
Modulen support for children including incentives, buddy and befriending; liaising with school and family; family trips, fridge for school/work to store Modulen and equipment packs for making Modulen.
Benefits
Help with accessing benefits and grants to support patients who are unable to work due to IBD through assisting with form filling for DLA and PIP claims.
Have a heart, lend a hand, stand out and MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
WHAT THEY SAY…
- Sandy -
"I once called CCR at three in the morning in severe abdominal pain. Their volunteer coordinator contacted Hatzolah and ensured that I was taken to the hospital where I am regularly treated rather than to the nearest A&E. The continuity of care by the same medical team resulted in relief of sickness, as well as therapy, counselling, and improving the regularity and safety of drug monitoring."
- Ruthy -
"As an IBD patient, I was concerned about stigma and hesitant to engage in treatment. CCR supported me in obtaining medical support and I began treatment and a diet immediately. This stopped the progression of the disease and surgery was not needed. CCR also worked to relieve my stress, fear of pain, illness and fear of stigma by involving community activists and other charity organisations such as Bikur Cholim and Camp Simcha to support my family and me."
- Josh -
"My wife was in hospital following surgery and was left with a stoma. She constantly suffered anxiety, had no appetite and was losing weight drastically. But then CCR volunteers came to visit her. They gave her support and sang to her, which reduced her anxiety. They brought fresh and enticing food daily to increase her appetite. They encouraged her to eat so that she would put on weight and regain her strength, physically and emotionally."
