Welcome to the Crohn's and Colitis UK 
Torbay Group
 
The Crohn's and Colitis Torbay Group support people in the local community living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease. We have been run by hardworking volunteers for two decades and we cover Torbay, Teignbridge and the South Hams.  We work closely with the Gastroenterology Team at Torbay Hospital and our Medical Advisor is Dr Cathryn Edwards. 
 
 
 
Organising Team Meetings are every last Monday of the month, except June and August and all Crohn's and Colitis UK members are welcome. We meet at The Members Room, Torbay Hospital, near The Bayview Restaurant.  We hold regular fundraising and social events and we produce a newsletter three times a year (see newsletter page) - we also keep our website and facebook page regularly updated with the latest news.
 
 

Crohn's and Colitis Month this year is May.

In a year when sport has such a high profile as a result of 2012 Olympics we want to encourage our members to be active and we are running a survey to explore the sport and fitness habits of people with IBD. We are also fortunate to be supported by our Champions.

Crohn's and Colitis UK Champions

The Olympic Rowing legend Sir Steve Redgrave, Footballer Russell Martin and actress/dancer Della Thielamay are all supporting us as our Champions.

AGM panel questions
 

Do you have any questions about IBD that you wish you could ask someone knowledgeable?

No question too basic, no question too silly, no question too obvious!

Our medical advisor Dr Cathryn Edwards has kindly agreed to head an IBD panel at this year’s AGM. This will give the ideal opportunity to ask any question. Questions can be emailed in advance or asked on the night.

 
 
 
Latest fundraising ......  recycling
 

Do you have any old, new or broken mobile phones?

We will recycle your unwanted mobile phones and raise money for the local Torbay branch of Crohn’s and Colitis UK.

(All phones wanted, with or without chargers, working or not)

We will also recycle used printer ink cartridges.

(All inkjet or laser and toner cartridges except Epson)

These can be brought to the AGM, or any team meeting, or contact us for arrangements.
