To inform, support and educate those with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and their families and carers; to improve the quality of life of those with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and to raise public awareness of Irritable Bowel Syndrome and the issues surrounding this condition.

We're the national charity for people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome in the United Kingdom. We support those who are coping day to day with IBS; a condition that is misunderstood, often stigmatised and which can chronically affect your everyday life. We support people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome in several ways. For our members, we offer a telephone helpline staffed by medical and nursing specialists and on-line medical advice and consultation, factsheets on all aspects of IBS, online support, can't wait cards and travel cards to facilitate access to toilets at home and abroad, a quarterly magazine, and an interactive and frequently updated website that includes our unique fully comprehensive Self Management Programme to help you live life to the full with IBS. We work in the public arena, raising the profile of people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome through advertising and media appearances, as well as providing advocacy for people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome at a national level, within government, the National Health Service and the medical profession.
